looks like the expander by canyon.
There is a similar system made by Deda, for the US folk who have troubles getting hold of Canyon products.

That's the acros headset. Headset preload is set underneath the stem, rather than by a conventional top cap and expander.

it indeed looks like the canyon headset, but I am in Germany and have not been able to find one for sale from Canyon...

Anyone have a link to the so mentioned deda one can't find that either :(

Not the same sytem when it comes to preloading the headset but I presume most people buy it because of esthetics.

quattrings, you've linked to a standard expander? That isn't the same thing as the Acros push-in bung.

Actually I had an idea like this a few years ago. I may still produce one...

Can't really see the headset but could be either the acros set where they didn't put the plug (it is really decorative) in the top, or a standard set with the bung removed after, someone gave a link for one of those removable bungs, most that aren't a starnut are removable.
I have one of the acros ones on one of my bikes. Works well, find the top cap rattles sometimes. I believe some forks depend on the bung being there for structural reasons, I am not sure but I think my Scott (Foil) manual said needed to stay in after installation of fork. Could be wrong though.
