The SE Bikes Eluder is a fully sealed, threadless headset designed for bikes using a standard 1-1/8" steerer. It’s built for smooth steering, durability, and low maintenance, making it a solid choice for BMX and BMX-inspired builds.
This headset is commonly used when replacing worn bearings or during a frame build where reliable, sealed performance is preferred.
