Introducing the newest icon in the King color palette: Jade.
It’s green, but it’s a lot more than just green. It has a curious depth. The finish is matte, but still Jade glows. It has an iridescence, a liveliness that’s hard to pin down, as though every time you look at it, it’s slightly different.
Of course, Jade comes from the earth. You can dig it right out of the ground, and humans have been doing that for millennia, from Japan to Peru and most places in between. Royalty(obvious pun here) has always valued Jade.
Get it now at your local Chris King dealer or at chrisking.com

When Jackson Goldstone won the World Championship title, we had to do something special to celebrate - To add a cherry on top of the delicious sundae that is his new @santacruzbicycles V10, we asked our friends at @blackmagicpaint to do some one-of-a-kind 🌈 paintwork with a set of our hubs, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! The hubs turned out beautifully and the bike looks incredible. We’re beyond stoked to see how it all came together.
Congrats @jacksongoldstone and thanks to @blackmagicpaint for the craftsmanship and lightning-fast turnaround.

Final Call: Our 50th Anniversary Collection
As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Well... we’re not entirely convinced about that.
What we do know is that our 50th Anniversary year is coming to a close, and what an incredible celebration it has been. We’ve had an absolute blast commemorating this milestone with our dealers, distributors, customers, riders, and fans around the world. Thank you for being part of the journey and helping make our 50th year so memorable.
While we’re saying goodbye to one chapter, we’re even more excited about what’s ahead. The celebration may be ending, but the story continues as we look forward to celebrating 51 years of innovation, craftsmanship, and community.
As our anniversary year winds down, there are a few important things you need to know.
Throughout 2026, we’ve proudly offered our limited Matte Gold finish and exclusive 50th Anniversary logo across the Chris King lineup. Both of these commemorative features will officially retire at the end of the year.
Here’s how it works:
Until November 30, 2026: Final Call
➡️ This is your last opportunity to order any components available in Matte Gold with the 50th Anniversary logo.
➡️ Even if a product is not currently in stock, you can place a backorder by November 30 and we will build and deliver it.
December 1, 2026 - January 4, 2027
➡️ Backorders for Matte Gold and 50th Anniversary products will not be available.
➡️ Remaining inventory will be available while supplies last through January 4, 2027.
➡️ After that date, the Matte Gold finish and 50th Anniversary mark will officially be retired.
Then it becomes part of Chris King history, a reminder of an incredible milestone and a celebration of the tens of thousands of riders, partners, employees, and supporters who have been part of our first 50 years. The future is bright, and we’re just getting started.
So, consider this your Final Call. Contact your favorite King dealer to get that final order in. If you don’t have a dealer near you hit us up directly on our website and we can help you out. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Chris King’s 50th Anniversary story.

When Chris King released its 50th anniversary matte gold components almost a year ago. We knew we wanted to use these beautifully finished pieces but certain we had to find the right customer and build.
We think it has been more than worth the wait as we were also able to utilise our most recent motorsport inspired scheme for that true modern classic look.
Belated congratulations to @chriskingbuzz on 50 years of making some of the finest components in cycling.
We hope you’ll still be around in another 20 years when we reach our 50th anniversary. We’ll be dreaming of something extra special to mark the occasion in the meantime.

A lot of work goes into creating a product long before it ever reaches a rider’s bike. Looking back at the development of our domestically made MTN30 AL rim, it’s a reminder of just how much dedication, experience, and persistence are required to bring a great product to life.
Many people think product testing is all fun and riding bikes. And while it certainly is enjoyable, it’s also a serious responsibility. Effective product testing requires years of firsthand riding experience, a deep understanding of performance, and the ability to evaluate even the smallest details. Every ride involves meticulous note taking, scoring, discussion, and analysis to ensure we’re making the best possible product.
The journey from initial concept to final production took nearly a year of design, refinement, and real-world testing. Our team pushed the rims through a wide range of conditions, gathering valuable feedback every step of the way. Hot or cold, sunny or rainy, the testing never stopped. That commitment allowed us to refine every detail and build a rim that meets the standards we set for ourselves and the riders who trust our products.
A huge thank you to the dedicated team who put in the miles, shared their expertise, and never let the conditions stand in the way. The MTN30 AL rim is the result of countless hours of hard work, passion, and a shared commitment to creating something truly exceptional.

Built for Motion. Engineered for Precision.
When your components are responsible for every rotation, every steering input, and every bit of efficiency, bearings aren’t just important. They’re everything.
A great bearing is only part of the equation. The way that bearing fits into the component is just as critical. Too loose, and it wears out quickly. Too tight, and friction steals performance. Precision lives in the details, and that’s why we control every step of the process.
We manufacture our own bearings specifically for the products they’re designed to serve. Our headsets, bottom brackets, and hubs each demand something different, so each bearing is engineered differently.
A headset bearing isn’t designed to spin continuously. Well...not on purpose. Instead, it moves through a limited range of motion, but it must not fail under repeated impacts from the trail, road, or whatever lies ahead.
A bottom bracket bearing spends its life under constant rotation while managing complex loads generated through crankarms, rider power, exposure to the element and frame flex.
Hub bearings are built with speed in mind. They need to roll efficiently, minimize drag, and keep you moving fast, whether you’re chasing a podium, a personal best, or just some good old bragging rights with your riding crew. Those bragging rights are pretty valuable.
These are just some of the reasons why we don’t buy bearings off the shelf. We design them, manufacture them, and pair them precisely with the components they were built for. Every bearing we manufacture is built by our talented team under our one roof here in Portland, OR.
Our bearings wear in not out. This should be a standard all of us riders live by.

MADE Moots: Reborn / BYOB (Bring Your Own Blips) 💜😉💜
When it rains, it pours, and it’s pouring in Portland. Good thing the fenders never come off this one. From November to April, this is my most ridden bike, by far. 💜🙋🏽♂️💜
Commissioned for the first MADE to celebrate the launch of Chris King UltraViolet, it’s already seen several lives. Gravel bike, super commuter, racked out rando, and now winter all-road. This year for the show, it got its first upgrades in a while, and it’s changed the bike in all the best ways! 💨⚖️💨
- Berd x Chris King. The Dyneema rope spokes are substantially lighter than standard spokes and provide a lively ride quality with better vibration dampening than their metal cousins. Really digging em. 🥰
- Growtac Control Shifters for Blips. SRAM killed mechanical AXS shifters years ago, and several of us weirdos want to run mechanical brakes (Klampers) with electronic shifting. The problem is those shifters now cost a fortune on the secondary market, if you can find them at all. Growtac’s shifters are lighter, have adjustable pull, and retail for under 200 duckets. BYOB (Bring Your Own Blips). 😉
- Ceramic Speed OSPW + UFO Waxed Chain: Smooth is fast, and fast is fast! Maybe I can get on board with this whole wax thing after all.
- MADE x Appleman Cranks: Had Right Hook Finishes spruce up a set of Appleman 2XR cranks with some MADE livery. Pleased as punch! ✨👌🏽✨
- Moots Finish Fit: The team at Moots sent over UltraViolet seat clamp rails and a faceplate; every bike needs more purple, especially this one. ✔️💜✔️
Full Spec:
* Custom Moots Routt 45 Frame
* Moots Ti Post and Stem
* Custom Anodized No. 22 Ti Fenders
* Enve Gravel Bars and Adventure Fork
* Paul Klampers / Gino Mount
* Growtac Equal Shifters
* SRAM AXS Shifting
* Full CKPC UltraViolet Kit
* Berd Spokes
* Ceramic Speed OSPW / UFO Chain
* Custom Reform Saddle
* Appleman 2XR Cranks
* Dynamic Rubber
* Spurcycle Pro Mirror
* KNOG Oi Bell and Scout Tracker

We’ve seen some pretty wild Partymaster builds over the years, but this one might just take the crown. 👑
@brianatkinsphotography from Oregon just built himself a fresh Partymaster, and he happens to work at @chriskingbuzz. You can probably guess how that went. 🤘
