    Product Details

    White Industries headsets include one crown race so you don’t need to buy one here unless you lost yours or want to use a different fork with your White Industries headset.  Our crown races are designed with a “split” to allow for tool-free installation and removal.  Check out the chart below to see which crown race you need for your headset and fork combination.

    ZS44/ZS44 Headset

    The White Industries ZS44 | ZS44 Threadless Headset delivers smooth steering, lasting durability, and timeless style for modern bicycles. We machine, polish, engrave, and inspect every headset in our Petaluma, California facility. As a result, every headset reflects the precision craftsmanship and dependable performance riders have trusted for more than 30 years.

    For decades, White Industries has designed components that prioritize precision, reliability, and serviceability. The ZS44 | ZS44 Threadless Headset continues that tradition with premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and a clean, refined design built to perform for years to come.

    Every headset features premium Enduro stainless steel angular contact bearings. These bearings provide smooth, consistent steering in every riding condition. They are also fully replaceable, making maintenance simple and extending the life of your headset.

    The ZS44 | ZS44 Threadless Headset also features our split crown race design. You can install and remove it by hand without specialized tools. As a result, servicing your headset is quick and straightforward. In addition, every headset receives precision machine engraving—not laser etching—for a premium finish that reflects the attention to detail found in every White Industries component.

    The White Industries ZS44 | ZS44 Threadless Headset is designed for frames with 44mm upper and lower head tubes. It is compatible with straight 1-1/8-inch (28.6mm) fork steerers, making it an excellent choice for modern road, gravel, cyclocross, and commuter bikes. Because headset standards vary between manufacturers, we recommend confirming your bike’s SHIS (Standardized Headset Identification System) specifications before placing your order. Verifying compatibility helps ensure the correct fit and hassle-free installation.

    Whether you’re replacing a worn headset or completing a custom bike build, the White Industries ZS44 | ZS44 Threadless Headset delivers smooth steering, premium craftsmanship, and American-made quality built to last.
