Standardized Headset Identification System (S.H.I.S.):

In order to clarify and bring uniformity to a sea of headset standards, manufacturers Acros, Cane Creek, Hope, Race Face, Reset Racing and Ritchey have agreed upon using a shared nomenclature, which will likely include more participating companies in the future. This system takes into account a combination of frame and fork dimensions. Both the upper and lower part of the headset are marked by two alphanumeric>

Nomenclature:

EC:

Bearings contained within cups that are located outside of the frame (external cup).

ZS:

Bearings contained within pressed-in cups where the cup and bearings rest inside the frame (zero stack).

IS:

Bearings that fit directly into a bonded or machined interface that is integrated into the frame (integrated).
