The
Cane Creek Hellbender 70 Complete Headset – IS41/IS52 delivers premium performance for riders who demand durability, precision, and smooth steering without the weight penalty. Designed to bridge the gap between Cane Creek’s 40-Series and 110-Series headsets, it offers high-end performance at a smart value for everything from gravel grinders to aggressive trail bikes.
Built from contoured and relieved
6061-T6 aluminum, the Hellbender 70 keeps weight low while maintaining impressive strength. Inside,
sealed stainless-steel Hellbender bearings shrug off grit and moisture to keep steering buttery smooth, ride after ride. A
low-friction upper bearing seal and
dual-seal crown race work together to block contaminants and extend bearing life—perfect for riders who refuse to let weather or terrain dictate when they ride.
