Stunt Scooter Forks
A Fork for Every Scooter Configuration
We provide robust and lightweight scooter forks suited for any scooter style. Regardless of whether your stunt scooter is tailored for the park, the street, or somewhere in between, you'll find a fork that complements your configuration and meets your liking.
Below, we address the key questions you might have when looking to replace your scooter fork. For an extensive exploration, refer to our Scooter Forks Buying Guide.
The Quick Guide to Scooter Forks
If you're uncertain about which scooter fork to select, keep in mind these straightforward guidelines:
- Ensure that the fork can support the diameter and core breadth of your wheels
- Ensure that the fork matches your compression system
Got it! Continue on for detailed insights into these guidelines.
Wheel Compatibility – Diameter and Breath
Wheel Diameter
Confirm the maximum wheel diameter your fork allows before purchasing. Most forks suit 110 mm wheels, with some accommodating up to 120 mm or 125 mm. Wheels exceeding your fork's support capabilities cannot be mounted. The maximum wheel diameter supported is listed in the fork’s specifications.
Wheel Core Breath
The standard scooter wheel breath is 24 mm; however, wider wheels are gaining popularity. Some forks for these wheels include spacers, permitting narrower wheels to be fitted. A wide wheel, however, cannot fit a fork meant for only narrow wheels.
Forks & Compression Systems
Selecting a fork that is compatible with your current compression system will likely result in a hassle-free installation.
SCS and HIC forks are typically interchangeable. For many forks, manufacturers specify their compatibility with both systems. Specific forks are optimised for either SCS or HIC, primarily affecting the fork’s extension above the headset. HIC forks tend to be slightly longer than SCS forks, meaning an HIC-optimised fork might need a spacer with an SCS clamp.
IHC fork tubes have a narrower design, recommended only if you're using an IHC compression setup. If you have a valid reason to change this, consider our range of IHC-to-HIC conversion shims found in the scooter compression parts.
Distinctive 12-Standard Scooter Forks
12STD scooter forks are made to accommodate larger axles and bearings and support larger wheels.
With the use of spacers and fittings, regular-sized axles and bearings can be mounted on a 12STD fork. Still, to fully enjoy the advantages of a 12STD fork, both your deck and wheels should be 12STD compatible.
If you're replacing your 12STD fork or converting to a 12STD setup, it's crucial to select either an SCS or HIC 12STD fork that matches your current setup. This ensures compatibility among your bar, clamp, and compression.
Wheel Offset – Controlling vs Agility
The offset impacts your scooter's manoeuvrability. More offset offers greater stability and smoother steering. Zero-offset forks place the wheel directly beneath the bar, resulting in a more agile scooter and easier nose wheelies, but they are less stable at speed.
- 10 mm offset: Most common and the preferred choice for most scooter riders
- Zero offset: Offers quick response, perfect for technical tricks
