The tapered design significantly increases front-end stiffness, providing you with direct, confidence-inspiring control during high-speed descents, aggressive cornering, and hard braking efforts. This enhanced rigidity ensures that every nuance of your input translates directly to the wheel, eliminating flex and delivering a connected feel to the road or trail. The use of high-quality angular contact bearings is engineered for optimal load distribution, reducing friction and wear for a consistently fluid steering motion, ride after ride.Advanced Steering Systems PerformanceThe Compass 1-1/2 CY headset is more than just a spare part, it´s a fundamental upgrade to your bicycle´s steering system. It serves as the heart of your cockpit, ensuring a stable and predictable front end. The semi-integrated design (Zero Stack upper, External Cup lower) strikes the perfect balance between a low stack height for an aggressive, aerodynamic position and the robust support needed for a 1-1/2 lower bearing. This combination is critical for absorbing and distributing the intense forces experienced during riding, protecting your frame and fork while delivering superior handling dynamics.
