Crank Brothers have done it again. They've taken the humble headset back to the drawing board and come up with something revolutionary. The new Crank Brothers Directset the super light, ultra low stack height headset available in four different ranges to cover all mountain biking disciplines:

Cobalt - Weight optimized for cross country use. Iodine - Tough, but still light enough for the climbs. Sage - Freeride components built for abuse. Opium - Optimized for strength in racing conditions.

By eliminating the separate bearing cups needed by most other headsets, the Crank Brothers Directset can be made lighter and with a lower stack height. And thanks to the use of custom bearings made just for them, Crank Brothers are happy to stand behind their directsets with a 5 year warranty.
