XLC HS-A17 Semi-Integrated Tapered Headset | 1-1/8 - 1.5Upgrade your ride´s handling and responsiveness with the XLC HS-A17 Semi-Integrated Headset, a premium component designed for modern bicycle frames. As a critical part of your bike´s steering system, a high-quality headset ensures smooth, precise control and long-lasting durability. The HS-A17 is engineered to provide a solid and reliable connection between your fork and frame, translating every input from your handlebars directly to the trail or road for a more connected and confident riding experience.Enhanced Steering Precision and StiffnessThe key benefit of the XLC HS-A17 lies in its tapered design, which accommodates a 1-1/8 upper steerer and a 1.5 lower steerer. This modern standard significantly increases front-end stiffness and strength compared to traditional straight steerer tubes. The result is a noticeable improvement in steering accuracy, especially when cornering at speed, navigating technical terrain, or under heavy braking forces. This robust construction minimizes flex, ensuring your wheel tracks exactly where you point it, giving you the confidence to push your limits.Sleek Integration and Durable PerformanceFeaturing a semi-integrated (also known as Zero Stack or ZS) design, the headset cups press into the head tube, sitting nearly flush with the frame. This not only provides a clean, low-profile aesthetic that complements the lines of any modern bike but also offers superior protection for the bearings against dirt, water, and impacts. The precision-engineered bearings ensure a silky-smooth, frictionless rotation for effortless steering, while their durable construction guarantees a long service life with minimal maintenance, keeping you on the bike and out of the workshop. At just 120 grams, it delivers this robust performance without adding unnecessary weight to your build.This headset is the perfect choice for riders looking to build a new bike or perform a crucial upgrade on their existing mountain, gravel, or road bike with a compatible tapered head tube.XLC Evo HSI17 Headset 1 1/2 -> 1 1/8´´ 56mm Semi INT.---Technical Specifications:- Model: XLC HS-A17 (Evo HSI17)- Category: Spare Parts- Subcategory: Headsets- Type: Semi-integrated (Zero Stack / ZS)- Steering Systems Compatibility: Designed for tapered forks and frames.- Size: 1-1/8 upper, 1.5 lower (1 1/2 -> 1 1/8´´)- Head Tube Dimensions: For frames with a 44mm upper head tube inner diameter and a 56mm lower head tube inner diameter.- Fork Dimensions: For forks with a 28.6mm (1-1/8) upper steerer tube and a 40mm crown race seat (for 1.5 lower).- Full Dimension String: 28.6/40/44-56 mm- Weight: 120 grams. tradeinn Bikeinn
