Is the Token Vigilante 1-1/8 compatible with carbon forks?

Yes — the Token Vigilante external headset is compatible with carbon forks with a 1-1/8-inch steerer, provided the fork manufacturer allows external headset use. Most carbon road forks with 1-1/8 straight steerers are compatible with external headsets within their specified standard.

What is the difference between external and integrated headsets?

An external headset (like the Vigilante) presses bearing cups onto the outside of the headtube. An integrated headset seats bearings inside the headtube. External headsets are common on older frames; integrated are standard on modern performance bikes.

Can I service just the bearings in the Token Vigilante?

For minor bearing wear, Token offers individual replacement bearings for their headset range. If the cups or races are damaged, full headset replacement is needed. For most service scenarios, the full headset at ₹3,950 is simpler and more cost-effective.
