"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""When I’m dialing in a lightweight build, I want every gram to count—and the Hellbender 70 Lite delivers. It's sleek, functional, and cuts weight where you least expect it. Plus, the corrosion resistance means it holds up better in all-season riding.""We’re always chasing small gains that make a big difference, and the Hellbender 70 Lite Preload Assembly lets us shed unnecessary weight while fine-tuning our front-end feel. Cane Creek’s premium machining and smart material choices make this assembly less than half the weight of traditional preload systems, which makes it a go-to upgrade for weight-conscious riders looking to elevate both performance and aesthetics. Constructed with an aluminum body and nickel-plated flanges, it resists corrosion far better than standard steel components and delivers a clean, minimal look that pairs well with any cockpit. It’s also compatible with all 1 1/8-inch aluminum and steel steer tubes, and works seamlessly with Cane Creek’s Ancora compression plug (sold separately) for carbon setups. If we’re trimming grams and chasing every edge, this assembly belongs on the bike."
