A headset is one of those essential and unrecognized components of your bike. And it’s also much more complex than you would think at first glance. Because our engineers spend years tinkering on our zs44 headset, you can simply install it, forget about it and enjoy a worry-free time on the bike.
We achieve this through our very own stainless steel angular contact bearings. Which feature two double lip seals and our optimized headset grease to protect the bearings and ensure that moisture and dirt are kept outside. That way we offer you a product that’s supposed to last, no matter what your adventure throws at you.
There’s one simple rule when it comes to maximising the lifespan of a headset: the better it is sealed the longer it will last. That’s why our zs44 upper part comes with additional well thought-out seals at the compression ring and headset cover / at the crown race. This prevents water and dirt from even making its way to the bearing, ensuring durability with minimal maintenance effort - so that you can maximize your good time in the saddle.
Die blocklock-Funktion sorgt zusätzlich dafür, dass du dir auch keine Sorgen um dein Oberrohr machen musst. Es ist sicher vor dem Kontakt mit Lenker und Anbauteilen geschützt und auch die Leitungen und Kabel können beim Sturz nicht überstrapaziert werden. Dir stehen immer noch 164° Lenkeinschlag zur Verfügung. Damit musst du zwar auf Barspins verzichten, hast aber noch mehr als genug Freiraum für radikale Fahrmanöver!
