High RPM Thrills Best Served

KING'S TECHLAB - EXCEED AND EXCEL

TechLab is our starting point for exploring and developing new technologies. It’s where our new products and features are designed, tested and validated.

Our TechLab R&D culture focuses on constant analysis of what can be done to support ever increasing race engine loads, and how to improve bearing durability.

One of those technologies is pMax-Black™.

pMaxBlack™ combines a unique tri-metal structure with advanced surface processes to deliver superior load capacity.

KING RACING FOR POWERSPORTS

King Powersports connecting rod bearings and main bearings are designed with tight, graded tolerances to preserve the exacting hydrodynamic regime required by high RPM’s. They are available in thicker and thinner grades of STD (to produce less or more clearance) as well as 0.25mm to fit ground/resized crankshafts!

These bearings are perfectly suited for both on-track competition and touring/cruising riders.

Want to make the most of your ride? Don’t compromise with ordinary bearings… choose King Powersports bearings.

In-depth research into the demands of performance powersports engines led King to the development of the industry’s first line of high-performance powersports engine bearings.

FEATURED POWERSPORTS BEARINGS

ENGINEERED FOR SPEED

Following in-depth research on performance powersports engine needs, King is proud to introduce the industry’s first high performance powersports engine bearing line.

King’s Powersports line utilizes pMaxBlack™, a superior performance bearing structure and overlay. It was developed by King specifically for professional race teams in various demanding race platforms such as NASCAR, drift, drag, rally and more.
