Cane Creek's Hellbender 70 sits between the entry 40-Series and the flagship 110in Cane Creek's own range; this version is built to the exact bore and cover fit Specialized uses on current Turbo Levo and Stumpjumper EVO frames.

  • Built as an OEM fit for Specialized Levo and Stumpjumper EVO
  • Sealed stainless-steel Hellbender bearings
  • 6061-T6 aluminium cups, bright-dip anodised finish
  • Sealed crown race included
  • Six Chroma Studio anodised colours

What S.H.I.S. means

S.H.I.S. (Standardized Headset Identification System) is the industry code that states a headset's fit in one line: the letters give the cup type (ZS zero-stack, EC external cup, IS integrated), the first number is the head tube bore it presses into in mm, and the number after the slash is the steerer or crown race diameter the bearing takes. This headset is IS42/28.6 on top and IS52/40 on the bottom.

Compatibility & fit

Cane Creek lists this IS42/28.6 | IS52/40 combination directly as a fit for Specialized Stumpjumper EVO and Turbo Levo frames. Dirt Works' own part code for this assembly uses a shorter top-cover code than the standard IS41/IS42 Hellbender 70 listings above, which may mean a lower-profile top cover specific to this OEM fitment – Cane Creek doesn't publish the exact figure, so confirm fit against your specific frame model with Tune's workshop before ordering.
