Box Components Gilde Carbon Integrated 1 1/8" Headset

There is more to the Glide Headset than it's exceptional good looks; from top to bottom, it’s been designed to perform.

Each headset features a custom CNC-machined alloy top cap in the shape of the BOX logo. Cut outs in the logo sheds the grams and shows off the beauty inside.

At the center of the top cap is an anodized aluminum bolt that threads into a gold anodized aluminum expander plug. The expander eliminates the need for a star nut and works with all 1 1/8” steerer tubes—even carbon fiber steerer tubes. The top bearing cover is crafted from carbon fiber, which not only adds style, but helps keep weight low.

At the heart of the headset are two super-smooth, titanium-nitride coated, sealed, 45×45 bearings. The titanium coating results in a low friction coefficient, increased corrosion resistance and smoother rolling bearings. A split crown race makes installation and removal from forks super easy.

Available in Red, Blue, Gold and Black with contrasting gold anodized internal parts. Weight: 83 grams/2.9 ounces.
