Crupi Factory 1.5" Pro Taper Headsets

Crupi Factory 1.5″ Pro Taper Headset

The Crupi Factory 1.5″ Pro Taper headset is designed for BMX race frames with tapered head tubes, providing compatibility with both 1-1/8″ and 1.5″ tapered forks. Featuring Campagnolo-spec bearings with 45°/45° contact angles, this integrated headset delivers smooth steering and durability for high-end race bikes. Includes two bottom races to accommodate different fork sizes and a complete set of headset spacers for precise handlebar height adjustment.

Key Features

• Dual Bottom Race Compatibility – Includes two bottom races to fit both 1-1/8″ straight steerer forks and 1.5″ tapered forks; provides flexibility to run either fork style without purchasing additional headset components
• Campagnolo-Spec Bearings (45°/45°) – Precision sealed bearings with 45-degree contact angles provide optimal load distribution and smooth steering; Campy spec ensures consistent quality and performance standards
• Tapered Integrated Design – Bearings press directly into the frame's head tube without external cups, reducing weight and creating a clean, low-profile appearance
• 1-1/8″ Stem Compatibility – Top bearing fits standard 1-1/8″ steerer tubes for stem clamping, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of BMX race stems
• Lightweight Construction (3.1 oz) – Minimal weight for a tapered headset; every ounce saved contributes to overall bike weight reduction for racing
• Complete Spacer Set Included – Full set of headset spacers allows precise handlebar height adjustment without needing to source additional parts

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

This headset fits BMX race frames with tapered integrated head tubes designed to accept 1.5″ tapered headsets. The frame must have the appropriate internal dimensions and bearing seats for integrated headset installation. Best suited for high-end race bikes where tapered head tubes and forks provide increased front-end stiffness for improved handling and steering precision. The dual bottom race system makes this headset ideal for riders who want the flexibility to run either straight 1-1/8″ forks or full tapered 1.5″ forks without changing headsets. Not compatible with frames using standard 1-1/8″ non-tapered head tubes or external cup headset designs. Verify your frame and fork specifications before purchasing to ensure proper fitment.
