DUO Brand H2 1.5" Tapered Headset

Product Overview

The DUO Brand H2 1.5" Tapered Headset is a lightweight, race-ready integrated headset designed for modern BMX geometry. The dual lower bearing race system accommodates both 1.5" tapered and standard 1-1/8" forks, providing flexibility across frame designs. Sealed cartridge bearing construction delivers smooth, low-maintenance steering.

Key Features

• Sealed cartridge bearing construction – Precision sealed bearings resist dirt and water intrusion, extending service life and reducing maintenance intervals. Cartridge design allows easy bearing replacement without headset disassembly.

• 1.5 x 1-1/8" taper integrated design – Modern tapered geometry improves steering stiffness and handling response. Wider lower diameter (1.5") increases fork crown rigidity; narrower upper diameter (1-1/8") reduces weight. Integrated system eliminates separate bearing cups.

• Top bearing (1.5 x 1-1/8" taper) – Single sealed cartridge bearing in the upper position provides smooth rotation and precise steering feel. Sealed design keeps contaminants out while maintaining responsiveness.

• Two lower bearing races included – Versatile system accommodates both 1.5" tapered and standard 1-1/8" fork designs. Dual races eliminate need for separate headset purchases when changing fork types.

• 1.5" tapered fork compatibility – Works with modern forks featuring 1.5" lower steerer tube diameter. Supports contemporary frame and fork geometry standards.

• Standard 1-1/8" fork compatibility – Included second lower race adapts to traditional 1-1/8" steerer tubes. Allows use with older forks or conventional frame designs.

• Lightweight design – Minimal material and sealed bearing construction reduce overall weight. Low mass improves bike responsiveness and reduces rotational inertia.

• Race-ready performance – Engineered for competitive BMX racing. Sealed bearing reliability and tapered geometry deliver winning performance and consistent steering feel.
