just a semi integrated tapered 1&1/8-1.5 headset
Generally labelled as 44/56 I TS

or if you want to spend a little more

There's no real reason to spend much more than the above

thanks Gary I want to try a superstar slackerizer headset but I'm not sure which one it is?

 

[Gary]

oh.. right

My E-sommet is already 64deg. I don't think I'd want it 62. But I also already have a DH bike that slack.
(Just my thoughts, and to validate the above but I think 62 is too slack for normal razzing about on flatter trails and slow speed riding, go ahead if it's what you want though)

You need their 44/56 tapered slackerizer and choose the one closest to your headtube length..

thankyou have you a longer fork or something?

 

[Gary]

Nah...

I just run fast rolling 2.3 rear tyres (lowers the back)
it's 64.2 or something stood unsagged. BB is lower too (which I love)
it rides slacker too as I run 18-20% fork sag and no tokens
I'm kinda old skool and a jumper so like a stiff linear fork over a sagged out progressive one.
Grip is overrated
