The S-8 headset features replaceable bearings and a lighter, more compact profile.

In addition to its sealed stainless steel cartridge bearings, the S-8's overhanging cup/cover design keeps contaminants from reaching the bearings. This overhanging "treacherous path" feature is repeated with the lower cup/crown race.

All Cane Creek headsets, including the S-8, feature design details such as an undercut transition and stepped insertion for ease of assembly into frames; and are compatible with Cane Creek Interlok spacers.

Classic: fits in a traditionally designed head tube and utilizes external bearing cups.
