Chris King is bringing back 3D Violet as one of its colour options for 2023 across its headsets, bottom brackets and hubs.<\/p>\n

The Portland, Oregon based brand is well-known for its dizzying array of colours across its shiny parts catalogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, we\u2019ve produced a variety of eye-catching colours,\u201d says Chris King design manager Jay Sycip. \u201cHaving introduced several matt finishes recently, we decided it was the perfect time to bring back a classic, highly requested colour, and 3D Violet was the standout choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those well versed in Chris King lore will know the brand has offered Violet options in the past, but the 3D variant offers a deeper hue and a greater link to the brand\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the BMX culture of the 1980s, 3D Violet was first introduced to Chris King\u2019s burgeoning range in 1988, following the brand\u2019s original silver and black headsets.<\/p>\n

The 3D Violet follows the matt \u2018Midnight\u2019 colour the brand launched for its 2022 range.<\/p>\n

More recently, Chris King announced its reintroduction of 6-bolt rotor Boost mountain bike hubs, which it ceased production of during the coronavirus pandemic to maximise output.<\/p>\n

Chris King says the 3D Violet options will be available from June and are ready for pre-order.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
