BLKTEC Headset Top Cover – X-LAB AD9 / AD8

The BLKTEC Headset Top Cover – X-LAB AD9 / AD8 is a purpose-designed replacement top cover engineered to simplify cockpit integration for modern internally routed X-LAB AD9 and AD8 front-end systems.

Developed as a direct alternative to the stock X-LAB headset top cover, it enables clean, hassle-free installation without compromising headset function or aesthetics.

Manufactured using durable 3D-printed PA12, this top cover offers excellent dimensional accuracy, durability, and a refined finish. It is specifically shaped to provide the correct cable routing clearance and interface required for compatibility with the full range of BLKTEC handlebars, stems, and integrated cockpit systems.
System Conversion Note

When installed, this BLKTEC top cover effectively converts the X-LAB AD9 / AD8 headset system to a TOKEN Cablebox-style routing solution, allowing improved cable management and compatibility with BLKTEC and INNER cockpit components.

Spacer Compatibility Note
TOKEN A-Box Speed Addict spacers can be ordered separately in 5 mm or 10 mm heights, allowing fine adjustment of cockpit stack height when using this top cover.

A practical workshop solution for mechanics building, servicing, or upgrading X-LAB AD9 and AD8 front ends using integrated cockpit systems.
