Headset Ethic DTC Osmose Ceramic Black
€39.90
DESCRIPTION
The Osmose ceramic has been developed to be the ultimate headset.
It takes the unique dimensions of Ethic's Oracle headset, which is the only bearing to have been specially developed for freestyle with a specific geometry / ball sizes / tolerances.
The difference is that on this bearing, the standard steel balls have been replaced by high precision ceramic balls (grade 5). (20% stronger)
The result is a much lower friction, and a handlebar that turns like never before, even when the compression system is tightened.
Ceramic being lighter than steel, and thanks to the optimized geometry of the bearing and the cap, this headset is by far the lightest available: 46g.
INFO +
The top cap concept is also unique, with direct contact between the handlebar and the compression ring (7075 T6 aluminum), and a silicone top cap surrounding it. This avoids the break-in phase, where you have to wait a little while for the whole system to reach its final deformation. (need to tighten less often).
Please note the compression ring is not compatible with IHC compression systems.
