Chris King says that the Dropset 5 headset fits many Specialized Mountain bikes. Does anyone know specifically if it will fit a 2022 Epic HT 29?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a straight headtube, I'm pretty sure it uses drop in bearings and it definitely doesn't have an EC lower so no.
If anything King makes will fit it's probably Dropset 5.

Updating this. I did the measurements as the King diagram shows, decided to take the plunge.
King Dropset 5 fits the S Works Epic HT perfectly! Way nicer than the Cane Creek AER that is supplied with the frame.
