Stunt scooter Forks

Scooter Forks for Every Setup

We offer resilient and lightweight scooter forks suitable for any type of scooter. Whether your stunt scooter is tailored for park riding, street cruising, or a blend of both, you can discover a fork that complements your setup and personal taste.

Below, we address the fundamental queries you may have when considering a scooter fork replacement. For an in-depth exploration, refer to: Scooter Forks Buying Guide.

Scooter Forks: A Prompt Overview

To assist you in selecting the right scooter fork, adhere to these straightforward guidelines:

1. Ensure the fork is suitable for the diameter and core width of your wheels
2. Verify the fork’s compatibility with your compression system

Right! Continue reading to shed light on the rationale behind these guidelines.

Wheel Compatibility – Diameter and Width

Wheel diameter

Prior to making a purchase, always verify the maximum wheel diameter your fork can support. Most forks accommodate 110 mm wheels, with some accepting up to 120 mm or 125 mm. It is not possible to mount wheels that are too large for your fork. The maximum allowable wheel diameter is detailed in the fork’s specifications.

Wheel Core width

While 24 mm is the standard scooter wheel width, broader wheels are gaining popularity. Some forks designed for wide wheels include spacers, allowing narrower wheels to fit as well. However, a broad wheel cannot be mounted on a fork solely designed for narrow wheels.

Forks & Compression

If you purchase a fork compatible with your existing compression system, the installation process should be straightforward.

SCS and HIC forks often interchange well, with many forks specified by manufacturers to work with both systems. Some forks are specifically optimised for either SCS or HIC, largely depending on the fork's height above the headset. HIC forks may be slightly longer than SCS forks, meaning an HIC-optimised fork will usually need a spacer to be usable with an SCS clamp.

IHC fork tubes are narrower than other kinds and should only be considered if you are utilising an IHC compression setup. If you have a compelling reason to diverge from this recommendation, explore our IHC-to-HIC conversion shims available in the scooter compression parts section.

12-Standard Scooter Forks Are Unique

12STD scooter forks accept larger axles and bearings and facilitate the mounting of bigger wheels.

Though it's possible to utilise spacers and fittings for regular-sized axles and bearings on a 12STD fork, optimal performance is only achieved if your deck and wheels are also 12STD compatible.

If you are replacing your 12STD fork or changing to a 12STD setup, carefully consider whether you are selecting an SCS or HIC 12STD fork. To prevent any incompatibility issues amidst your bar, clamp, and compression, choose the one that aligns with your current setup.

Wheel Offset – Balance vs Responsiveness

Offset influences your scooter’s manoeuvrability. Increased offset enhances stability and smoothness in steering. Zero-offset forks align the wheel directly beneath the bar, offering a nimbler scooter and easier initiation of nose wheelies, but these are less steady at high speeds.
