Cane Creek Hellbender 70 Lite:

According to the manufacturer, the Series 70 Lite version is 35 per cent lighter than the standard version without compromising on stability. With the Hellbender Series 70, Cane Creek has also closed the gap between the Series 40 and Series 110. The Hellbender features all the design characteristics, sealing elements and bearings found in the premium Series 110, at an unbeatable price. Available in a wide range of configurations, as upper and lower cups or as a complete headset for almost any fork and steerer tube configuration.

Cane Creek bearings:

Equipped with high-quality stainless steel cartridge bearings, designed to protect all components from dirt and corrosion through multiple seals. This not only maximises service life but also minimises maintenance intervals. The prerequisites for a worry-free and unobtrusive headset.

IS4/28.6 top thread:

The IS headset is inserted into the top of the head tube; the frame clearance is 41 mm and the fork steerer tube diameter is 1 1/8 inch / 28.6 mm at the top.

IS52/40 Bottom installation dimension:

The IS headset is inserted into the head tube at the bottom; the frame clearance is 52 mm and the fork steerer tube diameter is 1.5 inches at the bottom. The headset cone requires a 40 mm seat on the fork at the bottom.

IS/Integrated Standard – fully integrated headset:

Headset assemblies designated IS / Integrated Standard are also referred to as fully integrated headsets. These headsets require a frame designed for this purpose, with a raceway for the bearings. Integrated Standard refers to the fact that the bearings are inserted into the head tube without bearing cups, and, for example, IS44 refers to the installation dimension, the outer diameter of the bearings and the inner diameter of the bearings in the frame. These headsets do not require any special tools; the frame is already prepared for them.
