Stunt Scooter Bars

Understanding Stunt Scooter Bars

Stunt scooter bars are a crucial element of your scooter configuration. These bars are available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your height and riding style. Crafted from aluminium, steel, or titanium, each material offers unique benefits. Aluminium bars are lightweight, making them perfect for performing tricks, while steel bars are heavier but provide greater durability. Titanium bars combine both lightness and durability, offering an optimal balance.

Determining the Correct Height for Scooter Bars

Choosing the appropriate height for scooter bars can significantly influence your riding experience. Although personal taste dictates the height preference, bars that reach between your thighs and belly button generally provide the best experience. However, many professional riders opt for taller bars to enhance stability and control.

As for bar diameter, options include either standard or oversized. Standard bars feature an external diameter of 32 mm and an internal diameter of 28 mm. Oversized bars have an external diameter of 35 mm, with an internal diameter of either 28 mm or 32 mm. If the internal diameter measures 28 mm, they will only function with IHC forks, whereas a 32 mm internal diameter necessitates HIC compression. For SCS, additional considerations exist regarding compatibility, such as the requirement that bars must not have a slit. If uncertain about compatibility, consult our Buying Scooter Bars guide.

Choosing Between Y-Bar and T-Bar for Scooters

Scooter bars are predominantly designed as either Y-bars or T-bars. Typically, Y-bar designs are favoured for park scootering and are often constructed from aluminium. T-bars, more common for street riding, are usually made of steel. Y-bars consist of three or more welded elements, while T-bars comprise two pieces. Some T-bars have reinforced crossbars for extra strength.

Certain stunt scooter bars feature a back sweep, where the bar is angled backwards, similar to bike handlebars. Deciding whether you want a bar with a back sweep or not is entirely up to personal preference.
