A drop-in replacement bearing kit for the 2024-and-later Specialized Epic World Cup and Stumpjumper 15 headset, using Cane Creek's lightweight Hellbender Lite hybrid aluminium/steel bearings in place of the stock units.

Fitment & specification

One 49.5/40.5mm upper bearing and one 52/40mm lower bearing, sized for the 2024+ Specialized Epic World Cup and Stumpjumper 15 headset. Fits the bike's existing bearing cover and compression ring — no other hardware changes. Confirm your frame and model year before ordering, as Specialized has used more than one bearing spec across its headset designs.

Compatibility & fit

Specific to the 2024+ Specialized Epic World Cup and Stumpjumper 15. The Tune Cycles workshop can confirm your frame's bearing spec and fit the kit.
