Tapered roller bearings top & bottom CNC-milled bearing shells Plug & Play for Piaggio / Vespa 50-180 cm³ Replaces OEM 56002R & 56003R Racing-inspired steering feel
Tapered roller bearings absorb radial and axial forces much better than simple ball bearings, which is exactly what you need during powerful braking maneuvers, hard landings or high speeds: the steering remains free of play, fully damped and precisely centered. The result israzor-sharp, stable steering behavior - ideal for sporty road setups, city traffic with lots of braking and ambitious track use.
The Stage6 headset replaces the original Piaggio steering head bearings56002R and 56003R 1:1. The installation height remains unchanged, so the fork and handlebars sit exactly at the standard level - no stress with threads that are too short or changed geometry.
Typical vehicles for use include Piaggio Zip, NRG, Sfera, Typhoon, Liberty 50 cm³, Gilera Runner 125-180 cm³ as well as Vespa LX, PK, XL, GTS and Cosa. In general, the kit fits many Piaggio Group vehicles with a classic Piaggio control column - if in doubt, a comparison with the OEM numbers 56002R / 56003R will help.
Thanks to their high load-bearing capacity and robust design, Stage6 bearings are extremely durable andlow-maintenance. Correctly greased when installed, they rarely need readjusting - the steering behavior remains constant over a long period of time, without the typical jolting and catching of run-in series bearings. Ideal for all those who ride a lot or move a heavily modified chassis.
The Stage6 R/T logos lasered on the outside are a discreet but subtle detail - just enough optics to show what is installed when dismantling without destroying the standard look from the outside.
