Symbolic picture: Details of the pictured headset may differ slightly in appearance.
To maximize the compatibility with different fork steerers, bikes and frames, the upper and lower parts of ACROS headsets are being offered separately in a great variety of dimensions.
The semi-integrated ACROS AZ-44 Headset Upper Part features the newest seal technologies from ACROS and high-end bearings in stainless quality.
Precisely manufactured angular contact bearings made of stainless steel form the heart of the AZ-44 and offer play-free and smooth steering characteristics for a long time.
The right sealing technology is equally important as the highest quality bearings when it comes to high-end components.
VULCANIZED SEALING
New for the year 2017 is a sturdy vulcanized seal bonded to the compression ring and the base plate as an additional and first barrier against water and dirt.
V-LIP
In addition to the new vulcanized seal on the compression ring and the base plate, the sealing discs of the bearings now have a special v-groove double split lip (V-LIP). Furthermore, the V-LIP is recessed in a fine polished groove, which significantly increases the sealing effect once again.
