Wolf Tooth 2 Degree GeoShift Performance Angle Headset

Wolf Tooth 2 Degree GeoShift Performance Angle Headset Info

The Wolf Tooth 2 Degree GeoShift Performance Angle Headset is a precision-engineered solution for riders who want to fine-tune their bike’s handling by adjusting the head tube angle ±2 degrees. Whether you’re seeking a slacker, more confident feel for steep descents or a steeper, quicker front end for responsive climbing and tight trail maneuvering, the GeoShift system provides meaningful, geometry-changing adjustability without altering your frame or fork.

Unlike spherical or flat-bearing angle headsets that introduce drag, premature wear, and unwanted noise, the GeoShift Performance Headset positions its bearings at the same angle as the steerer tube. This alignment minimizes friction, reduces stress on the bearing surfaces, and eliminates the creaking commonly associated with angle-adjustable systems. Machined in the USA from durable 6061 aluminum, the headset includes Enduro black oxide–coated chromium steel bearings protected by Wolf Tooth’s multi-layer sealing system for long-lasting performance in all trail conditions.

Designed for frames using EC and ZS press-fit cups, the GeoShift headset includes both upper and lower assemblies, installation drifts, shims, a crown race, and a lightweight integrated-spacer stem cap. Riders using forks with carbon steerer tubes can install the headset by pairing it with a compression plug (sold separately). With thoughtful weather sealing and service-friendly design, the GeoShift headset offers a reliable way to customize handling and extend the performance capabilities of any compatible mountain bike.
