Replacement headset bearings for Cannondale Caadx 2015

Can anyone help me? I am looking for new bearing/ headset for my CaadX (2015 model). I can't find the technical docs for their CX bikes and I can seem to find anything through internet searches. Anyone know if any of the bearings that fit their road bikes are the same spec?

Thanks,
 
Guessing it's a sealed bearing? Otherwise just buy the same sized balls.

If it's sealed then pop it out and have a look at it, there should be a size on it.

You can service sealed bearings too if you can be bothered. Use a scalpel/craft knife to carefully lift off the seals, flush out the old grease and repack. Be very careful with the seals as if you bend then they'll likely never properly seal again. No good if they are rusted or otherwise damaged but if not it's a good way to save replacing them.
