Yes it is, if.....
you foloow torque specs and maintain it. The beraing s are a tad small and due to the small upper bearing cup it could be slightly fragile.
I tell most who purchase one from me, go with the FreeHead version. It's much more durable (larger beraings) and with the larger upper cup, it looks better under most stems and with todays larger tubesets.
if you maintain your equipment and do not abuse your parts then go for it. If you want a HS that you set and forget, then go King.
I have used both the Head and Free version for years wuith no issues. My 2yr old Freehead that was barely maintained still runs pretty darn smooth.
