Our take
The FSA "The Pig" headset has a well-deserved reputation for being a heavy-duty workhorse, and this 1-1/8 inch threadless external cup version continues that tradition. It's designed for durability across a range of bikes, from BMX to touring, which speaks to its robust construction. While the "heavy duty" aspect implies it might not be the lightest option, it prioritizes strength and longevity. Ensure your frame requires a 1-1/8 inch threadless external cup headset for proper fitment. It's a reliable choice for riders who prioritize bombproof reliability over minimal weight.
