FSA The Pig Headset

Yes, this headset is designed specifically for 1 1/8-inch (1.125-inch) steerer tubes. It uses a standard EC34/EC34 external cup configuration.

Absolutely. The Pig is specifically engineered to be gyro-compatible, making it a popular choice for freestyle and BMX riders who need to perform bar spins and tailwhips without tangling brake cables.

The 12mm deep-cup design provides extra structural integrity and surface area contact with the head tube. This helps prevent the headset from ovalizing or pulling out under the heavy stress of aggressive riding.

No, The Pig utilizes a traditional ball-bearing system. It features oversized lower ball bearings and caged 5/32-inch upper bearings, which are designed for durability and ease of maintenance rather than the low-friction performance of sealed cartridges.

The complete headset assembly weighs 187 grams. While it is not the lightest option on the market, the weight reflects its robust chromoly construction, which prioritizes durability over weight savings.

The total stack height is 29mm. You should account for this measurement when cutting your fork steerer tube to ensure you have enough room for your stem and any necessary spacers.
