Hmm, hadn't seen the first version at all. Reading up on it, it sounds like its a standard headset used with their mountain-bikes. And would be used with a normal pre-loader, as opposed to the road one which is the second, and most definitely not slammed.
The translation of abdeckkappe is covering cap, which sounds like it is just a cover and not a fancy pre-loader
