White industries is known for making beautiful, durable, and functional parts all right here in the United States. Soon, you’ll be able to add headsets to those parts. Installed on a number of bikes around the show, White Industries also had a display of headsets in their booth which are close to making it to production. The official launch will be later in the year, but we picked up some of the basic details from the show…
When it comes to their construction, with the exception of the bearings the new headsets are all aluminum. That includes the preload top cap bolt which uses an oversized head and a matching top cap. Inside each headset, you’ll find a matching Enduro stainless bearing.
White Industries says that they will initially offer fitments for a number of sizes including standard external 1 1/8″ headsets, and internal and external cup configurations for ZS44, 34/44mm external, 44/56mm internal, and a 41mm integrated non-campy headset. To be available in all of the colors above, pricing is still being finalized with the goal of an official release by Eurobike/Interbike.
