How to choose a handlebar for your stunt scooter?
Handlebars are made from 3 different materials: aluminum, steel, and titanium. When choosing a handlebar, just like other stunt scooter parts, you first need to answer one question - which compression system is it meant to work with?
If you can't tell compression systems apart, check out our guide.
ICS-10 system
For the ICS-10 system, the handlebar must have:
- a slot,
- a compression star originally pressed in,
- a 28mm internal diameter.
Remember to check whether the clamp you plan to fit on the new handlebar has the right diameter.
You'll find more information about clamps here.
SCS system
With the SCS system, we're able to fit any handlebar. However, the handlebar must not have a slot (if it does, we need to fit an SCS adapter).
Another thing worth checking is the clamp's internal diameter. If:
- the clamp has a 32mm internal diameter, you can only fit handlebars with a 32mm external diameter;
- the clamp has a 35mm internal diameter, you can only fit handlebars with a 35mm external diameter;
- the clamp has a 35mm internal diameter with a reducing shim down to 32mm, you can fit handlebars with either a 32mm or 35mm external diameter.
If the handlebar is too long for you, you can order it cut down to fit your needs. We'll shorten it and ship the handlebar to you.
IHC system
For the IHC system, the handlebar should have:
- a slot,
- a 28mm internal diameter.
Remember to check whether the clamp you plan to fit on the new handlebar has the right diameter. (You'll find more information about clamps here).
If the handlebar doesn't have a slot or is too long for you, you can order it adjusted to your needs. We'll shorten it, add the slot, and ship the handlebar to you.
NOTE! If the handlebar is also designed for the ICS-10 system, the fork must not stick out more than 6 cm above the headset cap.
HIC system
For the HIC system, the handlebar should have:
- a slot,
- a 32mm internal diameter.
Remember to check whether the clamp you plan to fit on the new handlebar has the right diameter. (You'll find more information about clamps here).
If the handlebar doesn't have a slot or is too long for you, you can order it adjusted to your needs. We'll shorten it, add the slot, and ship the handlebar to you.
