The Neco H852 Ahead headset is a reliable choice for those seeking a solid, long-lasting solution for 1-1/8" head tubes. Its press-fit design ensures easy installation, making it suitable for both home assembly and regular maintenance.
The bearing uses a traditional ball retainer system, in which the steel balls are evenly distributed within the cage. This design reduces internal friction, ensuring smooth and consistent movement while also increasing the durability of the components. The precise fit and properly preloaded bearings further enhance stability, keeping steering responses predictable and accurate under all conditions.
This is especially important at higher speeds or during technical tricks, where precise control is essential for safe riding. The Neco H852 is a headset that doesn't try to stand out—but when it counts, it delivers exactly what you need: durability, reliability, and a stable steering feel.
