...Skip the headset and get a good one from FSA or Cane Creek if they make one...
The hate on this poor little thing surprise me each time ;)?
I ride in a rainy/muddy country. Bearings particularly suffer here.

The cheap headsets you get with the frame with a good layer of marine grease(especially on top of the bottom bearings) will last as much as the more expensive ones.
Even more if you ride a dry area.

An integrated headset is just bearings and some shims and caps, no special tech here.
With bearings that will never see any speed or make a full turn in their life, why not spend elsewhere your hard earned cash ?

I have no problem going with the one provided and stick some Phils grease in there. Appreciate the feedback! Now I'm hoping to find a good rear shock and 8x30 bearing. Seems the RS SID Luxe 165x40 is sold out everywhere. Discontinued maybe? May have to look at a Fox rear shock or see if something new comes out this October when new parts/bikes are usually released.

I have this one, with the possibility of a lock, it works nicely
