Aluminium Scooter Handlebars Bars

Aluminium bars are lightweight and agile, making them perfect for park tricks and younger riders. However, they’re not as strong as steel or titanium and can bend under heavy impacts. If you need maximum strength or ride street obstacles, consider steel or titanium bars.

Aluminium bars suit riders who prioritise weight reduction and quick handling, especially park enthusiasts and younger riders. Heavier street riders or those who frequently land big drops may prefer steel or titanium for added durability.

Standard bars have a 32 mm outer diameter and are compatible with most scooters, while oversized bars measure 35 mm and are sturdier for heavier riders or more aggressive styles. Always check your scooter’s clamp and compression system to ensure a proper fit.

Compatibility depends on the bar diameter and whether the bar has a slit. According to Jibs Action Sports, aluminium bars with a slit fit IHC compression when paired with an oversized clamp but are not compatible with HIC systems. They can be used with SCS compression by removing the slit and matching the bar size to the SCS clamp.

When standing on your scooter deck, the top of your bars should reach between your hips and navel for comfortable control. Wider bars provide stability, while narrower bars allow faster spins. Bars can be cut down if necessary; if you’re unsure, seek professional help.

Lifespan depends on riding style and how often you land heavy tricks. Aluminium bars offer a good strength‑to‑weight ratio but generally have a shorter lifespan than steel. Check your bars regularly for cracks or bends and replace them if damaged.
