The same team that brought you the Mallet & 5050 pedals have turned their attention to headsets. The Crank Brothers Sage C 1 1/8 Directset omits the standard headset cup & replaces it with flanges incorporated directly onto the bearing itself. This lowers the stack-hieght of the Sage C Directset to an industry best 21mm, an ideal match for todays long travel freeride bikes. The Sage C Directset's outer races are formed from bearing steel with a tough black finish. On the Sage range the bearing flanges are an extra long 15mm, allowing them to be inserted deep into the headtube to transmit loads over a greater area. Meanwhile the bearings themselves are custom made, 34 ball, full complement (max) bearings both top & bottom for maximum strength. Crank brothers are so confident in the strength of this design that they offer a full 5 year warranty on the bearings in all of their Directsets. weight

The same team that brought you the Mallet & 5050 pedals have turned their attention to headsets. The Crank Brothers Sage SL 1 1/8 Directset omits the standard headset cup & replaces it with flanges incorporated directly onto the bearing itself. This lowers the stack-hieght of the Sage SL Directset to an industry best 21mm, an ideal match for todays long travel downhill bikes. The Sage SL Directset's outer races are formed from rust free stainless steel so it will keep on looking great for years. This is handy because that is how long the headset will last. On the Sage range the bearing flanges are made extra long, allowing them to be inserted deep into the headtube to transmit loads over a greater area. Meanwhile the bearings themselves are custom made, 34 ball, full complement (max) bearings both top & bottom for maximum strength.

Crank Brothers have reinvented the wheel! With their latest design, the they started from a blank sheet of paper to come up with the most innovative wheel ever. The design of the new Crank Brothers Sage Wheelset eliminates the need to drill any holes in the rim, replacing them instead with a unique extruded internal/external radial centre rib. The un-drilled rim is a lot stronger & is also inherently suitable for tubeless tyres. Spokes are attached to this central rib section in matched pairs to more evenly distribute the tension from each spoke & allow for easier truing, which can be done with a standard spoke key. The aluminium freehub body on the rear hub features 6 pawls in two sets of 3 engaging 48 times every wheel revolution to ensure near instantaneous pickup. The hubs also feature oversize cartridge bearings on an ovesized axle for strenght with light weight. Tyre compatability
- tubeless & regular. Freehub engagement
- 48 tooth. Spoke arrangement – paired. Axle type (f)
- bolt through. Axle type (r)
- bolt through. Warranty
- 2 years.
