Why Chris King makes wheels

Chris King understands what makes a wheel fast. High-performance bearings, power transmission, and rims that absorb road vibrations and hold the line were critical.Chris King's use of FusionFiber®, an innovative thermoplastic carbon fiber, in the rims allowed for an ultra-high performance wheelset construction that is capable of absorbing road noise and maintaining a stable ride. This wheelset enables cyclists to ride farther, longer, and faster, and it is the cyclist's idea of imagining and realizing those ideas.

Authentic wheels for superior performance on a variety of terrain

The ARD44 is an aero wheel designed for serious cyclists, ideal for cyclists who demand full speed on flat terrain, climbs, and corners. These wheels deliver excellent performance on a wide variety of terrain, from flat pavement to rough gravel roads.

The ARD44 wheelset consists of Chris King's R45D hubs and 44mm-height, aero-profile FusionFiber rims that exceed stringent industry standards. This combination provides highly efficient power transfer, high speed, and stability.

Chris King's R45D hubs serve as the perfect core of this wheelset. It has superior in-house bearings, perfectly matched bearing races, an integrated axle, and a flange optimized for lateral stiffness and durability. In addition, it features Chris King's innovative RingDrive™ system, which provides 45 notches of simultaneous engagement for maximum engagement throughout the entire pedal stroke. Chris King uses RingDrive™ bearings with high engagement and super-efficient cores for superior durability.

ARD44 rims feature FusionFiber® thermoplastic technology to create a stable, responsive, and agile ride that helps riders rider fatigue and strain. It also minimizes road feedback and vibration, improving traction and providing a smooth, comfortable ride.

The ARD44 rim has an inner width of 25 mm and an outer width of 30.5 mm to accommodate a wide range of tire sizes, typically up to 47 mm. In addition, the hookless, tubeless rim design optimizes the interface between the tire and rim bed, simplifying installation and maintenance.
