Pro Scooter Bars

Defining Pro Scooter Bars

Pro scooter bars are crucial in assembling your scooter. They come in a range of sizes and styles, tailored to suit your height and the way you ride. These bars can be made of aluminum, steel, or titanium. Aluminum bars are lightweight and perfect for executing tricks. In contrast, steel bars are heavier but more robust. Titanium bars strike a balance, offering both lightness and durability.

Determining the Ideal Height for Scooter Bars

Choosing the correct height for your bars affects your scooter's ride quality. While bar height is a personal choice, optimal comfort is usually achieved when the bar sits between your thighs and navel. Nonetheless, some pro riders prefer taller bars for enhanced stability and control.

Regarding bar diameter, options include standard and oversized. Standard bars feature an outer diameter of 32 mm and an inner diameter of 28 mm. Oversized bars have an outer diameter of 35 mm, with inner diameters of either 28 mm or 32 mm. A 28 mm inner diameter is compatible exclusively with IHC forks, while 32 mm requires HIC compression. For SCS, additional compatibility rules apply, such as avoiding slits in the bars. If compatibility is unclear, refer to our Buying Scooter Bars guide.

Choosing Between Y-Bar and T-Bar Designs

Scooter bars are primarily categorized into Y-bars and T-bars. Y-bars, generally preferred for park riding, are typically made from aluminum. On the other hand, T-bars, often made of steel, are more common in street riding. A Y-bar consists of three or more welded components, while a T-bar is constructed from two parts, with some models featuring reinforced crossbars for extra strength.

Certain trick bars include a back sweep, where the bar is angled backward, akin to many bike handlebars. Your preference for a pro scooter bar with or without a back sweep is entirely subjective.
