Stunt Scooter Bars

Discover the Ideal Scooter bar and Elevate Your Ride

Delve into our extensive selection of stunt scooter bars – ranging from lightweight aluminium to extremely robust titanium – to find the perfect match for your individual taste.

Find below the essential principles to consider when selecting a new bar for your cherished scooter.

Height of Scooter bar

When you stand with your feet on the scooter deck, the bar should sit between your hips and navel. This height promotes good posture and facilitates pulling the bar for executing thrilling tricks.

Measure from the bottom of the front wheel to the spot where the bar is positioned once fitted.
Add this dimension to the bar's height.

And there you have it! Now you can determine how high your scooter will be with the new bar installed.

Compatibility of Scooter Bars

Follow these two suggestions to ensure you choose a scooter bar that aligns with your current arrangement.

Choose a bar that suits your existing compression system (refer to the bar's specifications).
If upgrading to a bar with a larger outer diameter than your current one, verify if a bigger clamp is necessary.

Utilise the “Compatible with” filter located at the top of this page to arrange our range of scooter bars by compression system.

Understanding Scooter bar Diameter

For compatibility regarding stunt scooter bars, focus on the two measurements: inner and outer diameters of the bar.

Standard bars: 28 mm inner diameter / 32 mm outer diameter
Oversized bars: 32 mm inner diameter / 35 mm outer diameter
Aluminium bars: 28 mm inner diameter / 35 mm outer diameter (for increased strength)

The outer diameter of the bar needs to align with the inner diameter of your clamp. When swapping to a bar with a different outer diameter, confirm your clamp can accommodate it.

How Do Material and Shape Impact the Performance of Scooter Bars?

Scooter handlebars are primarily constructed from three materials – steel, aluminium, and titanium. Here's what you need to understand:

Steel / chromoly scooter bars

Stronger and more impact-resistant than aluminium bars.
Offers flexibility and forgiveness compared to aluminium bars.
Heavier compared to both aluminium and titanium bars.
A more economical choice than other bars.

Aluminium scooter bars

Lighter than steel and some titanium bars.
Emphasises rigidity over flexibility.
Resistant to corrosion and rust.
Less expensive than titanium bars.

Titanium scooter bars

Lightweight yet nearly as strong as steel bars.
Durable and long-lasting.
Allows flexibility, aiding in impact absorption during heavy landings.
A costly material.

Choosing Between a Y or T Shape for Scooter Bars

T-shaped bars offer a minimalist, classic look, often favoured by street riders. They consist of a tube welded at the centre perpendicular to the top of another tube. This design limits options for added reinforcements, but maintains straightforward lines that avoid potential weak points, as the tubes remain straight without curves. These bars are generally made from steel or titanium, though aluminium variations are available.

Y-shaped bars allow for a wide array of design choices. They typically incorporate gussets to enhance structural strength and are often crafted from aluminium – a popular choice for riders who prioritise minimal weight and technical manoeuvres. Some Y-bars also feature backsweep, which enhances comfort for some riders.

Although T-bars are synonymous with street riding and Y-bars with park riding, one does not exclude the other. It ultimately depends on your decision to select the bar that complements your progression and aesthetic preferences.
