Cane Creek's Hellbender 70 sits between the entry 40-Series and the flagship 110in Cane Creek's own range: the same sealed, stainless-steel Hellbender bearing and sealing as the 110, here in a zero-stack top and bottom assembly for frames with an oversized 56mm lower head tube.

  • Tapered-steerer assembly, 1-1/8in to 1.5in
  • Sealed stainless-steel Hellbender bearings, top stack height 8mm
  • 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. ZS56 on the bottom means a 56mm head tube bore, larger than the more common 44mm.

Compatibility & fit

Fits a 44mm head tube top, 56mm head tube bottom, tapered 1-1/8in to 1.5in steerer. This is a less common bore pairing – confirm your frame's own S.H.I.S. marking matches before ordering, or ask Tune's workshop to measure the frame and press the headset as part of a fork or frame build.
