Apex Scooter Forks

Apex scooter forks are engineered for precision and durability, machined from solid blocks of aluminium and hand-finished in Australia. Models like the Quantum and Apex V3 Fork are designed for park and street riders who demand reliability. Apex forks offer compatibility with various compression systems and wheel sizes. For fork selection guidance, see our Stunt Scooter Buying Guide.

Forks in the Apex line are constructed to handle repeated landings, street abuse, and impact. Expect designs with strong crowns, reinforced steerer tubes, and generous clearance for wheels. Apex forks often come in different height options, and configurations to support different compression systems (integrated or external). Proper welding, finish, and material choice are emphasised for reliability. Riders doing technical flips, drops, or grinds will benefit from investing in well-built forks like these.

To match your fork, browse Scooter Parts for compatible hardware such as headsets and bearings.

Why buy Apex Scooter Forks?

Q

What materials are used?

A

Apex forks use 7075 or 6082 T6 aluminium, renowned for its high tensile strength. Each fork is CNC machined, ensuring precise tolerances. They undergo heat treatment for added toughness and are hand-polished for a smooth finish.

Q

Which models are available?

A

The Quantum fork is Apex’s flagship model, known for its clean lines and minimal weight. The newer V3 fork introduces a stronger axle design and improved compatibility with larger wheels. Apex forks are consistently refined to deliver the best strength-to-weight ratio.

Q

What compression systems do they support?

A

Apex forks are primarily HIC and SCS compatible. Some models include a removable starnut, allowing conversion between compression types. Always confirm the fork’s steerer length and whether a starnut is pre-installed.

Q

What wheel sizes fit?

A

Apex forks typically support wheels up to 125 mm, although 110 mm is standard. The dropout spacing accommodates 24 mm wheels, and some forks allow 30 mm wheels with appropriate spacers. Always check the model’s specifications.

Q

Are they good for street or park?

A

They excel in both disciplines. The lightweight design suits park riders who need quick whips and spins, while the strength of the aluminium and axle ensures they stand up to street grinds and drops.

Q

How do I install an Apex fork?

A

Press your headset bearings into the deck, insert the fork through the headtube and attach your shim or compression system. Secure everything with the compression bolt. Make sure the fork and deck are aligned properly before tightening the clamp.

Q

Are Apex forks expensive?

A

They are priced at the higher end of the market due to precise machining and premium materials. Serious riders appreciate the longevity and performance benefits.

Q

How do I maintain Apex forks?

A

Regularly inspect the fork for cracks, especially near the crown. Tighten axle bolts, check compression bolts for security and clean off dirt to prevent corrosion. Replace bent axles or damaged forks immediately to avoid failure during riding.
