Fifty
Slotting immediately in between the Forty and Hellbender 70 headsets, Fifty brings a new, modern aesthetic while maintaining a relatively affordable price. Additional machining on the top cover and cups along with refined, laser-etched graphics give the headset a sharper, more angular appearance that feels more appropriate for today’s bikes.
Fifty is a fantastic upgrade over most stock headsets and is one of the first places riders should look to increase the peace of mind that comes with a quiet, tight, and smooth-riding bike.
Precision engineered by Cane Creek in Fletcher, NC.
