Stunt Scooter Bars

What Are Stunt Scooter Bars?

Stunt scooter bars are a crucial component of your scooter configuration. These bars are offered in a variety of sizes and styles to match your height and riding preferences appropriately. They are crafted from aluminium, steel, or titanium. Aluminium bars are light and perfect for performing tricks. On the other hand, steel bars, though heavier, are more robust. Titanium bars provide both lightness and durability, delivering the best features collectively.

Determining the Ideal Height for Scooter Bars

Choosing the appropriate height for your scooter bars greatly affects the feel of your scooter while riding. While the height preference is subjective, it is generally advised that the bar should be positioned between your thighs and navel for the optimal experience. Nevertheless, some professional riders favour higher bars for enhanced stability and control.

Regarding scooter bar diameter, it can be standard or oversized. Standard bars possess an outer diameter of 32 mm and an inner of 28 mm. Oversized bars feature an outer diameter of 35 mm and an inner diameter, which can be either 28 mm or 32 mm. With an inner diameter of 28 mm, the bars are compatible solely with IHC forks. An inner diameter of 32 mm necessitates HIC compression. With SCS, additional considerations for compatibility apply, such as the necessity for bars to lack a slit. If uncertain about compatibility, we recommend consulting our guide: Buying Scooter Bars.

Choosing Between Y-Bar or T-Bar for Scooters

The primary designs for scooter bars are the Y-bar and the T-bar. Generally, Y-bars are preferred for park scootering and are made from aluminium, whereas T-bars, typically constructed from steel, are popular for street riding. Y-bars consist of three or more welded sections, while T-bars comprise two sections. Some T-bars feature crossbar reinforcements for extra durability.

Certain trick scooter bars include a back sweep, meaning the bar is angled backwards, akin to many bike handlebars. The decision of whether to opt for a stunt scooter bar with a back sweep is entirely based on personal preference.
