With the upper steering head bearing from CRIMAZ, you can convert your Vespa Smallframe or Piaggio Zip 50 SP to a robust tapered roller bearing. Instead of simple ball bearings, a precise bearing shell and a high-quality tapered roller bearing are used here - directly inspired by motorcycle and scooter racing.

The CRIMAZ steering head bearing set is the right choice for anyone who wants to technically upgrade their steering - from clean daily scooters to sporty setups. The tapered roller bearing shows its strengths especially during hard braking maneuvers, poor road surfaces or precise line selection on the race track: the steering remainsstable, free of play and well centered.
Typical applications include Vespa Smallframe (V50, 50 N, Primavera 125, ET3, PK S/PK XL/PK XL2) and the Piaggio Zip 50 SP. In addition, the upper bearing fits many Piaggio and Gilera sports and 50 cubic models with identical head tube design, which are popular in the racing and tuning sector.
This kit specifically replaces the upper steering head bearing. This is exactly where many scooters develop notches and detents over time because the bearing is constantly subjected to braking and impact forces. The CRIMAZ set offers a much more robust solution here:
If you want to further optimize your suspension, you can later combine the upper CRIMAZ bearing with a suitable upgrade for the lower bearing. For many setups, however, replacing the upper bearing is already a noticeable step forward.
The CRIMAZ tapered roller bearing replaces the original upper headset bearing without any changes to the frame or fork. The installation height remains close to stock, so neither the handlebar position nor the thread length on the fork tube change.
As you would expect from CRIMAZ, this steering head bearing is also cleanly finished and precisely matched to the Piaggio/Vespa geometries. The precisely fitting bearing shell and the high-quality tapered roller bearing ensure a lasting, technical upgrade without changing the original look of the fork and steering head.
