Intend BC Stiffmaster upper headset
Product Description
Stiffmaster upper headset by Intend BC for All Mountain and beyond
With the Intend BC Stiffmaster upper headset, you reach a new level of performance on your All Mountain, Downhill, Enduro, and MTB adventures. Fast direction changes, hard sprints, or brutal rock gardens place the highest demands on the cockpit. For aggressive and precise riding, maximum stiffness is essential — but not at any cost. While the handlebar itself should offer controlled, even flex for improved comfort, one-sided loads must not cause the system to twist.
This is exactly where the Intend BC Blackline Stiffmaster headset comes into play, providing the decisive stability and significantly increasing front-end stiffness without negatively affecting ride feel.
