The newer ones do have a tapered collet. The older ones just a top bearing cap with an o-ring in it. There is talk of the early set up not working very well with long travel forks.

You should have a steerer cap, bearing top cap and split ring (old style was a solid bearing top cap with rubber o-ring)

Scroll about half way down and it has a diagram showing the different components on the newer version.
