The ORBEA Integrated Headset 1 1/8"–1 1/2" for Alma 26 is designed to deliver smooth, precise steering performance for your cross-country mountain bike. Built specifically for frames that use an integrated headset standard, it sits directly in the frame’s machined bearing seats, reducing weight and keeping the front end clean and low. The tapered 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" design matches modern suspension forks, helping to increase front-end stiffness and steering accuracy on technical trails and fast descents.
This headset is an ideal replacement or upgrade for maintaining the original handling characteristics of your Orbea Alma 26. Quality sealed bearings (or equivalent durable bearing solutions, depending on the exact spec) are typically used in this type of headset to keep out dirt and moisture, ensuring long-lasting, low-maintenance performance. By refreshing your headset, you can eliminate play, creaks, and rough steering, restoring that precise, responsive feel. It’s a small component that makes a big difference in control, confidence, and comfort every time you ride.
