stronger and smooth

 

[Steezeman]

Stronger, smoother, faster, less maintenance, lighter depending on the headset, threadless.

 

[stukwon-do]

it's just a freakin buzzzzz..

 

[Rob.]

Not having to unscrew everything, smoother, stronger bearings, aesthetically pleasing?

a lot stronger cups fo one thing. i have dented the shitty thin aluminum headset cups on all my stock headsets, and the seal on my stock headsets dent as well if they hit the ground orr something. Never have dented my fsa, and it spins faster than stock.

 

[Steezeman]

I'm pretty sure stock cups are steel dude. And Loco, anything that's 1 1/8 and threadless will work.

You can never compare a stock headset to an aftermarket. Trust me, it is well worth the investment. All around it's just higher quality, which leads to higher performance.
