The WCS version of the Ritchey headset is fully equipped with high-quality industrial bearings. The well-sealed tapered precision bearing at the bottom and compact precision bearing at the top are very easy to adjust and run with almost no resistance.

the full-contact bearings with titanium-coated raceways, combined with high-quality, exceptionally smooth balls and Ritchey’s water-repellent special grease, ensure extremely durable bearings.

IS headset system:

The IS headsets are inserted into the head tube and require no additional bearing cups. The frame’s head tube also serves as the bearing cup for the headset

IS52/40 headset bottom clearance:

The bottom dimension is 52 mm and the headset taper on the fork is 40 mm (1.5 inches).
