Moose Offroad 22-1026 Steering Stem Bearing Kit — Beta KTM Gas Gas Husqvarna 1991-2025

Moose Offroad — Precision Tapered Bearings, Smoother Steering, and Extended Service Life

Eliminate front-end "notching" and restore precise handling to your machine with the Moose Offroad 22-1026 Steering Stem Bearing Kit. This heavy-duty kit is designed as a high-performance upgrade for bikes equipped with factory ball-type bearings or as a premium "Factory Quality" replacement for stock tapered units. By transitioning to tapered roller bearings, you increase the surface area for load distribution, resulting in significantly less wear and a much smoother steering feel under heavy off-road stress.

Whether you are navigating tight technical single-track on a Beta Xtrainer or hitting high speeds on a KTM 500 EXC-F, consistent steering input is vital. This kit is engineered to handle the high-impact loads of motocross and enduro racing while requiring less frequent maintenance than standard OEM ball bearings. The result is a more stable front end and improved rider confidence through rock gardens and rutted corners.

• Tapered Roller Upgrade: Significantly outlasts standard ball-type bearings with increased surface contact.
• Reduced Maintenance: Engineered for less wear and longer service intervals in harsh off-road environments.
• Complete Rebuild: Kit includes both upper and lower taper bearing cups, cones, and necessary seals.
• Drop-In Replacement: Precision-fit for European chassis, ensuring no modifications are required during installation.
• Broad Application: Fits an extensive range of Beta, Gas Gas, Husqvarna, Husaberg, and KTM models from 1991 to 2025.

Moto-House MX Pro Tip:

Proper lubrication is the secret to steering stem longevity. When installing the Moose Offroad 22-1026 kit, use a high-quality waterproof grease and pack the bearings thoroughly by hand. Ensure the races are seated perfectly square in the frame head tube to prevent binding. After the first few hours of riding, we recommend re-checking the torque on your steering stem nut, as new bearings can "settle" slightly after their initial break-in period.

FAQ Questions

Q) Does this kit include the dust seals?
A) Yes, this kit is designed to be comprehensive and includes both top and bottom seals to keep dirt and moisture out of your new bearings.

Q) Why choose tapered bearings over ball bearings?
A) Tapered bearings have a larger contact patch, allowing them to support heavier loads and resist the "pitting" that creates a notchy feeling in your steering over time.
