Which one is right for me?

There are a wide range of collar clamps available, here are some important things to keep in mind when choosing yours.

• Money - You don't want to spend more than is necessary, however the quality of a product can be discerned by the cost. The higher the cost, the better quality you are likely to get.
• Skill Level - All are suitable for beginners and recreational riders, but for anyone more experienced in extreme sports or park riding, you would get the most out of purchasing a higher end triple or quad clamp
• Size – There are several different widths of collar clamps, each designed to fit a certain width of bar. Higher end bars tend to made of higher quality metals such as aluminium or chromoly as these metals are stronger and lighter. As such the correct clamp will be slightly thinner. Before purchasing an replacement clamp it’s really important to first check the diameter of your handlebars. If you’ve fitted a HIC compression kit you’ll also require HIC-compatible bars.  
• Shim– Some clamps will come with an optional shim which acts as a spacer if the clamp is slightly too wide.
• Single, Double, Triple or Quad – A clamp with one screw is referred to as a single clamp. Likewise a clamp with 4 screws would be a quad clamp. Longer clamps with more screws are better as they spread the pressure put on the clamp and bars when performing tricks. If you’re regularly attempting jumps or tricks it’s worth getting a triple or quad clamp as it’ll alleviate some of the pressure put on your scooter and reduce the risk of your bars sheering.

PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee that these clamps will fit your scooter. View the Clamp Compatibility Guide to see what fits what. If you have any queries, please email us for advice.

Ability and Age

Every clamp is designed for recreational use and suitable for any age. If you’re planning to head to the skate park, we strongly recommend you get a triple or quad clamp and consider fitting some sort of compression system.
