Hellbender 70 Viscoset Lower, ZS56/40 Mid Tune

The Cane Creek Hellbender 70 Viscoset Lower, ZS56/40 Mid Tune brings advanced steering stability to the bikes that need it most. Designed to tame speed wobble and enhance control, this lower headset unit integrates viscous damping technology that keeps your front end calm and predictable when the terrain or speed gets rough. Whether tackling fast descents, hauling heavy loads, or commuting through unpredictable streets, this innovative system helps maintain confident, controlled steering.

Inside, micro-thin interleaved plates rotate against each other within an encapsulated cartridge, separated by a fluorocarbon gel that provides precise, consistent damping. The result? Smooth, composed handling and reduced fatigue on long or demanding rides.
