110

The Absolute Best

Well over a decade ago, we set out to make the best premium headset on the market. With our 110 Series, we did just that, utilizing optimal materials, the most effective seals and the best aesthetics.

With the flexibility to purchase complete assemblies or separate Tops and Bottoms, tops are available in either short (9mm) or tall (15mm) stack height bearing covers, the 110-Series offers a premium solution for nearly all straight and tapered configurations on the market today. From Integrated (IS) Tops to External Cup (EC) Conversion Bottoms and everything in between, you can mix and match your headset purchase to best meet your needs.

We know the 110 headsets are the best in the world, and we want to make sure that they have the best guarantee in the world.

Design Engineer
Name: Reed Mann
Position: Design Engineer
Year started: 2022
Best part of being a part of the Cane Creek family:  It’s very refreshing to work for a small, tight-knit company where we all share the same passions and to develop new products that make cycling better for everyone.
What you’ll find me doing on the weekends: Obviously riding bikes, but also wrenching on bikes or cars, exploring the mountains, and watching F1 races.
How I got here (at Cane Creek): Feeling pretty unfulfilled with a corporate engineering job, I happened to see that Cane Creek was hiring. I jumped at the opportunity to get my hands dirty working on the latest bike tech and was fortunate enough to be offered the position.
