SYNCROS IS42/28.6-IS52/40 Headset for Scott Addict CX
Restore the precision and reliability of your bike´s steering with the genuine SYNCROS IS42/28.6-IS52/40 Headset. Specifically engineered as a direct replacement spare part for the Scott Addict CX MY16 model, this headset ensures your cyclocross machine handles with the sharpness and confidence it was designed for. Whether you´re replacing worn-out bearings after a tough season or completing a frame-up build, this essential component is the key to a smooth, responsive, and perfectly integrated front end.
Uncompromised Steering Performance and Durability
Experience flawlessly smooth and precise steering in all conditions. The heart of this headset is its high-quality sealed cartridge bearings. These units are meticulously engineered to rotate with minimal friction, providing an immediate and connected feel to the road or trail. The sealed design offers superior protection against the ingress of water, mud, dirt, and grit—elements commonly encountered in cyclocross—ensuring long-lasting performance and significantly reducing maintenance requirements. This robust construction means you can focus on the race, not on your equipment.
The tapered design, accommodating a 1 1/8” upper to 1.5” lower steerer tube, is a modern standard that dramatically enhances front-end stiffness and strength. This increased rigidity translates directly to more confident handling, sharper cornering, and improved stability during hard braking and sprinting efforts, giving you a competitive edge when it matters most.
Seamless Integration and Optimized Design
Designed for a perfect fit, this headset utilizes the “Drop-In” IS (Integrated System) standard. This means the bearings fit directly into the integrated cups within your Scott Addict CX frame, eliminating the need for press-fit cups. The result is a lighter overall system, a cleaner aesthetic, and a simplified installation process. Furthermore, with a very low profile of just 8.7mm stack height, this headset allows for a lower, more aggressive handlebar position, enabling riders to achieve an optimal aerodynamic profile without compromise.
