Specialized Future Shock 3.2 Headset Cartridge

Specialized Future Shock 3.0 – 20 mm of comfort and control

Future Shock is a Specialized innovation that has proven its advantage since its debut in some of the toughest road conditions, including the legendary Paris–Roubaix. The system is positioned between the stem and the steerer tube, allowing it to absorb impacts and vibrations exactly where they affect the rider the most. The result is significantly improved control, reduced fatigue, and greater confidence when riding on rough asphalt, cobblestones, or poor-quality roads.

Features:

• 20 mm of compliant travel: the impact-absorbing system works in the opposite direction of forces transmitted through the fork, reducing vibrations by more than 50%
• Personalized tuning: three spring options (soft, medium, firm) and up to five preload spacers allow precise adjustment to riding position and road surface
• Easy at-home adjustment: settings can be changed quickly and easily by simply removing the stem
• Improved durability: compared to the previous generation, the design is even more robust and fully serviceable
• Future Shock 3.2 version: hydraulically damped system delivers more controlled movement, with preload adjustable to rider preference
• Ready to ride out of the box: compression is set to an optimally comfortable position, so you can just ride and enjoy
