Main Features
* Tapered Steerer Configuration: Specifically designed for frames using a tapered head tube and forks with a 1 1/8” upper to 1.5” lower steerer, providing a stiffer and stronger front-end assembly for superior handling.
* Zero Stack (Semi-Integrated) Design: The headset cups press cleanly into the frame´s head tube, offering a low-profile, sleek appearance while maintaining the structural benefits of a press-fit system.
* Premium Sealed Cartridge Bearings: Equipped with exceptionally smooth and durable sealed cartridge bearings that are precisely angled to handle axial and radial loads, ensuring fluid steering action from day one.
* Comprehensive Sealing System: Features multiple integrated seals that create a formidable barrier against the elements, ensuring consistent performance in all weather conditions and significantly prolonging bearing life.
* Engineered for Performance: Every aspect of the MTX Serie is optimized to provide a solid, creak-free interface between your frame, fork, and stem, forming the basis of a high-performance cockpit.
Advanced Bicycle Steering Systems
As a critical component of modern bicycle Steering Systems, the TOKEN MTX headset does more than just allow your fork to turn. It is the pivot point that dictates the bike´s handling characteristics. The tapered design is a key innovation in steering technology, creating a larger contact area at the lower bearing where forces are greatest. This results in a dramatic reduction in flex under heavy braking and hard cornering, leading to a more predictable and stable ride. By choosing a high-quality headset like the MTX Serie, you are ensuring that your entire steering system operates at its peak potential, free from binding, looseness, or contamination that can degrade performance and compromise safety.
