What is a Titanium Center Lock Lockring?
A center lock lockring is a crucial component in modern disc brake systems. It securely fastens the disc rotor to the hub, ensuring optimal braking performance and safety. Traditional lockrings are made of steel, which is heavy and prone to rust in harsh conditions. Titanium lockrings, like the one offered by S-PARTS, are not only lighter but also highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for cyclists who demand both performance and durability.
Why Choose the S-PARTS Titanium Lockring?
The S-PARTS Titanium Alloy Center Lock Lockring stands out as a premium upgrade for discerning cyclists. Here’s why:
1. Lightweight Design
Titanium lockrings are significantly lighter than their steel counterparts, helping reduce rotational weight on your bike. For riders using high-end wheels like the Campagnolo Hyperon, BORA Ultra WTO, Fulcrum Racing Zero Carbon, or Shamal, every gram saved translates into better climbing and acceleration performance.
2. Durability and Corrosion Resistance
Crafted from high-quality titanium, this lockring is built to withstand the harshest weather conditions. It’s perfect for riders who cycle in wet or muddy environments, where steel components might corrode over time.

4. Aesthetic Appeal
The lockring is available in multiple finishes, including a stunning rainbow anodized option. This adds a touch of personalization and flair to your bike, making it as stylish as it is functional.
5. Improved Performance
The lightweight and strong construction of this titanium lockring contributes to better braking consistency and overall bike performance, giving you a competitive edge on the road.
How to Install the S-PARTS Titanium Lockring
The installation process is straightforward and can be done with a standard center lock tool, such as the Shimano LR15 or Park Tool FR-5.2. Simply remove the existing lockring, place the S-PARTS titanium lockring in position, and tighten it securely. For detailed instructions, refer to your wheelset’s manual or consult a professional mechanic.
