Specialized Future Shock Upper/Lower Headset Bearing (45.8x36.8x6.5mm)

Restore the signature smooth ride and precision handling of your Specialized bicycle with the genuine Specialized Future Shock Upper/Lower Headset Bearing. This essential spare part is meticulously engineered to meet the exact tolerances required by the innovative Future Shock suspension system. If you´re experiencing notchy, rough, or loose steering, this high-quality replacement bearing is the definitive solution to bring your bike´s front-end performance back to factory-fresh condition. This is an individual headset bearing with custom dimensions for Future Shock headsets, designed to serve as a direct replacement for either the upper or lower bearing in compatible models.

Experience a Return to Flawless Performance

The primary benefit of installing this genuine bearing is the immediate restoration of fluid, responsive steering. Over time, the original bearings in your headset can become contaminated with dirt and moisture or simply wear out from countless miles, leading to friction and play. This replacement eliminates that "indexed" or gritty feeling, allowing the Future Shock system to function as intended—absorbing road imperfections without compromising steering input. By ensuring a perfect interface between your fork and frame, this bearing guarantees that every ride is as smooth and controlled as the first.

Engineered for a Perfect Fit and Lasting Durability

This headset bearing is not a generic, off-the-shelf component; it is a purpose-built part with features specifically tailored for Specialized frames. Its custom dimensions and precise 45x45 degree Campy Style interface ensure a flawless fit within the head tube, preventing premature wear and potential damage to your frame. The robust construction provides exceptional longevity, offering superior resistance to the elements and the high-load demands of both road and gravel riding. This ensures you spend more time riding and less time on maintenance.

The integrity of your entire headset assembly, including the top cap, compression ring, and spacers, relies on the condition of its bearings. When replacing a worn bearing, it is the perfect opportunity to inspect all related components. The proper arrangement of headset spacers is critical for achieving the correct preload on the bearings, which is essential for both smooth rotation and long-term durability. This replacement bearing provides the solid foundation needed for a perfectly adjusted front end.

Ensure perfect compatibility and performance with these precise specifications, designed exclusively for the Specialized Future Shock system.
