Black and silver Forward Swing (IS) Tapered Headset with the text "FORWARD" engraved on the top surface, crafted with precision CNC machining.

Description

The Forward Swing Headset is an "integrated" or "IS" type steering set, specifically designed for frames equipped with a tapered head tube. Precision-engineered through CNC machining, this steering set offers easy installation and ensures smooth and responsive handling.

Features

Built for tapered head tubes. An integrated set made for frames with a tapered head tube, so check yours is IS42/28.6 to IS52/40 or IS52/30.
Integrated IS fit. The bearings sit straight into the frame and the CNC machined parts make installation easy.
45 by 45 degree bearings. Upper bearing is 1-1/8 inch at 30.4 to 41.8mm, lower is 1.5 inch at 40 to 52mm.
Takes either fork. A 1-1/8 inch steerer works with the reducer, or you can run a tapered 1-1/8 to 1.5 inch fork.
Just 78 grams. Aluminium cups with steel bearings keep the whole set at 78g, so it adds very little to the front end.
