Wolf Tooth Headset

This is a ZS44 headset designed for frames with a 44mm head tube inner diameter and a 1.125-inch straight steerer tube. Please verify your frame's specific headset standard before purchasing, as this will not fit tapered steerer tubes or different head tube diameters.

Stainless steel offers significantly better corrosion resistance than standard steel, which is crucial for mountain biking. It prevents rust from forming inside the bearing races when you are riding in wet, muddy, or humid conditions, ensuring the headset remains smooth over time.

The headset uses dual-lip seals that sit within micro-grooves to create a tight barrier against water and trail debris. Combined with an integrated O-ring seal around the steerer tube, it is specifically engineered to keep contaminants out even in harsh, wet environments.

Yes, the package includes the headset assembly, the necessary hardware, and a lightweight stem cap with an integrated spacer. You will still need a headset press tool to install the cups into your frame.

This ZS44 headset has a stack height of 6mm. This is a relatively low-profile measurement, which is helpful if you are trying to keep your handlebar height as low as possible or if you have limited steerer tube length.
