Stunt Scooter Bars

Choose the Ideal Scooter Bar and Elevate Your Skills

Delve into our extensive selection of stunt scooter bars – from lightweight aluminium to ultra-durable titanium – to find the perfect match for your tastes.

Below, you will discover the key principles to keep in mind when selecting a new bar for your cherished scooter.

Scooter Bar Height

The bar of your scooter should be between your hips and navel when you're standing on the scooter deck. This positioning is beneficial for posture and allows you to lift the bar for impressive tricks.

Measure starting from the bottom of the front wheel up to the position where the bar is installed.
Add this figure to the height of the bar.

There you have it! You now know the total height of your scooter with the new bar in place.

Scooter Bars Compatibility

By adhering to the two guidelines below, you can ensure that the scooter bar you choose is compatible with your existing setup.

Select a bar that is in line with your current compression system (refer to the bar's specifications).
If opting for a bar with a larger outside bar diameter than your present one, verify if you require a bigger clamp.

Utilise the "Compatible with" filter at the top of this page to refine our variety of scooter bars by compression system.

Understanding Scooter Bar Diameter

Two measurements are crucial for the compatibility of stunt scooter bars: the internal and external diameter of the bar.

Standard bars: 28 mm internal diameter / 32 mm external diameter
Oversized bars: 32 mm internal diameter / 35 mm external diameter
Aluminium bars: 28 mm internal diameter / 35 mm external diameter (for enhanced strength)

The external diameter of the bar must be compatible with the internal diameter of your clamp. If you're changing to a bar with a different external diameter, ensure your clamp is suitable.

How Do Material and Design Influence Scooter Bar Performance?

Scooter handlebars are available in three primary materials – steel, aluminium, and titanium. Here’s a quick guide:

Steel / chromoly scooter bars

Stronger and more resistant to impact than aluminium bars.
Offers more flexibility compared to aluminium bars.
Heavier than both aluminium and titanium bars.
Generally less expensive than other bars.

Aluminium scooter bars

Lighter than steel bars and even some titanium bars.
Firm and less flexible.
Resistant to corrosion and rust.
Cheaper alternative to titanium bars.

Titanium scooter bars

Lightweight while nearly matching the strength of steel bars.
Long-lasting.
Flexible, helping to absorb some impact on heavy landings.
An expensive material.

Y-Shaped or T-Shaped Scooter Bar?

T-shaped bars present a simplistic, classic style, often favoured by street riders. They essentially comprise a tube welded perpendicular at the centre to the top of another tube. This simple design doesn't offer much scope for additional reinforcements, but it also doesn't introduce weakness as the tubes remain fully straight without any bends. T-shaped bars are commonly made from steel or titanium, though aluminium options are available as well.

Y-shaped bars allow for diverse design possibilities. They typically incorporate gussets for enhanced structural durability and are frequently crafted from aluminium – a preferred choice for those focusing on weight reduction and technical tricks. Some Y-bars also feature a backsweep, which some riders find more comfortable.

While T-bars are often linked with street riding and Y-bars with park riding, neither category is restrictive. You should select the bar that best supports your advancement and aligns with your personal aesthetic preferences.
