WOOdman HEADSET TECHNOLOGY
Designed for high performance in both extreme use and lightweight riding.
FL CAP
The FL Cap is WOOdman’s signature lightweight top cap design.
It features our latest 7075 aluminum Torx screw, which is lighter and offers superior torsional strength compared to traditional hex socket screws.
Dust Cover
Most Axis headsets also offer an optional 20mm dust cover.
20mm Dust Cover Advantages:
- Raises the stem height
- Reduces the need for multiple spacers
- Cleaner appearance with lower weight
- Less stress on the steerer tube
SP Hight Adjustment Plate
We include three aluminum SP plates that allow you to adjust the gap between the frame and the headset for a perfect fit and optimal sealing performance.
Position Specific Bearings
For the bike headset, the key and important element is the bearings! WOOdman bearings are sealed, with a retainer design for the top bearing and a full-ball and full-grease design for the bottom bearing. This meticulous design not only extends the lifespan of our bearings but also enhances their durability, enabling them to withstand even the most extreme riding conditions. As a result, they are the ideal choice for upgrading the headset bearing on road bikes or MTBs.
