Premium Aero Headsets for Semi-Internal Routing
Built for riders who prefer the flexibility of semi-internal (under the stem) routing, our Headsets for Semi-Internal Routing were developed for frames using an IS52 headset. These headsets are equipped with a custom seal at the cable entry ports that eliminates contamination from moisture and debris, maximizing bearing life.
Machined from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum at Wolf Tooth in Minnesota, USA.

It presents a svelte profile with its ultra-low stack height and narrow, machined profile. Extremely lightweight at only 82g, it sets the benchmark in performance for a semi-integrated cockpits.

Slammed.
These headsets feature an ultra-low 7.8mm upper stack height for a smooth transition from cockpit to headset to frame.

Like all Wolf Tooth headsets, this new option features our best-in-class triple-sealed system to protect bearings from the elements. It also includes Enduro stainless steel bearings that use the largest possible ball size and are filled with high-pressure waterproof lubricant.
