![CHRIS KING Headset Dropset 3 [IS41|IS52, 36°]](https://cdn2.npcdn.net/images/product/1200x1200-1-0/725857-product4649005.jpeg "CHRIS KING Headset Dropset 3 [IS41|IS52, 36°]")
The GripLock™ preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer, so it retains preload far better than the competition and is impervious to the ill effects of load spikes from large hits and heavy braking. This means smoother steering, no more creaking, and a longer lasting headset.
Our GripLock™ design also takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset, because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping force. Our headsets can be preloaded to a torque spec.
Compatible with Santa Cruz, Yeti, Alchemy, Santa Cruz Stigmata (without baseplate), Ibis Hakka MX, and more.
