Pro Scooter Bars

Discover the Ideal Scooter Bar and Elevate Your Ride

Delve into our extensive collection of pro scooter bars – ranging from lightweight aluminium to ultra-durable titanium – and find the perfect match for your individual style.

Below, you will discover the key principles to bear in mind when selecting a new bar for your cherished scooter.

Scooter Bar Height

Your scooter bar should ideally stand between your hips and navel when positioned on the scooter deck. This height encourages good posture and allows for pulling off impressive tricks.

• Measure from the bottom of the front wheel to the point where the bar is placed once installed.
• Add this measurement to the bar's height.

And there you have it! You now know the total height of your scooter with the new bar fitted.

For a comprehensive understanding of scooter bar height, refer to: Scooter Size Guide.

Compatibility of Scooter Bars

Following the two rules below will help you find a scooter bar that is compatible with your existing setup.

1. Always opt for a bar that aligns with your current compression system (check the bar's specifications).
2. If transitioning to a bar with a larger outer diameter than your existing one, verify if a larger clamp is necessary.

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

Understanding Scooter Bar Diameter

When it comes to pro scooter bar compatibility, attention should be paid to two measurements: the inner and outer diameter 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 must be compatible with the inner diameter of your clamp. If changing to a bar with a different outer diameter, ensure your clamp is suitable.

How Do Material and Shape Influence Scooter Bars’ Performance?

Scooter handlebars are available in three primary materials – steel, aluminium, and titanium. Here’s the essential information:

Steel/chromoly scooter bars

• Stronger and more impact-resistant compared to aluminium bars.
• More flexible and forgiving than aluminium bars.
• Heavier than both aluminium and titanium bars.
• Less expensive than other bars.

Aluminium scooter bars

• Lighter than steel bars and even slightly lighter than some titanium bars.
• Offers rigidity rather than flexibility.
• Resistant to corrosion and rust.
• More affordable than titanium bars.

Titanium scooter bars

• Lightweight and nearly as strong as steel bars.
• Highly durable.
• Flexible, absorbing some impact during heavy landings.
• High-cost material.

Scooter Bar Shape: Y or T?

T-shaped bars provide a minimalist, classic look, often favoured by street riders. They consist of a tube welded perpendicularly at the centre of the top of another tube. This design leaves little room for additional reinforcements but avoids creating weak points due to its straight, curve-free construction. T-shaped bars are frequently crafted from steel or titanium, though aluminium variants are also available.

Y-shaped bars allow for varied design possibilities. These usually incorporate gussets to enhance structural strength and are often made from aluminium, a preferred choice for riders focused on low weight and technical tricks. Some Y-bars also feature backsweep, which some find more comfortable.

While T-bars are commonly linked with street riding and Y-bars with park riding, one does not exclude the other. It's important to select a bar that complements your skills and personal style.
