Precision, Quality, Value

Burrowed deep in the streams and rivers of the Appalachian mountains, the Hellbender Salamander is a rare creature that thrives in the mud and water. Like their namesake, these bearing are built to live in the most extreme conditions, keeping you riding smoothly through rain, mud, grit or whatever the road and trail throws at you. Using stainless steel bearings with increased sealing elements and more grease in relation to the comparable 110 bearing, the Hellbender is the only way to make your Cane Creek headset even better. 

The Hellbender 70 Lite headset combines durability, weight savings and value in one product. Featuring 6000 series aluminum and than comparable models. The Hellbender 70 Lite is an ideal headset for any bike where weight savings is a priority – a lightweight headset that doesn’t lack durability or performance.

The bearing cups and covers are made of 6061 T-6 aluminum, internally contoured and relieved to minimize weight and maximize strength. A low-friction upper bearing seal completely seals the bearing cup from contaminants and is fully captured by the top cover with no loose parts. The double-sealed crown race provides excellent sealing efficiency with low friction.
