Apex griptape focuses on both performance and design. With strong adhesive, weather-resistant construction, and grip that holds up under aggressive riding, this griptape helps riders maintain traction for long sessions. Graphics are bold or clean, depending on rider preference, and the texture is balanced so it’s not overly harsh on shoes. Apex options often include sheets large enough for full deck coverage or pre-cut to fit certain deck sizes.

Why buy Apex Scooter Griptape?

Q

How does Apex griptape compare to other brands?

A

Apex uses a coarser grit than many competitors, providing maximum traction for high-impact landings. The adhesive is industrial strength, ensuring the tape stays in place, even when the deck flexes during big jumps. This makes Apex griptape a good match for riders who need secure foot placement.

Q

What are the size options?

A

Apex grip tape typically measures 5 inches wide and 22 inches long. The size accommodates most scooter decks, and you can trim it down for custom shapes or smaller decks.

Q

Are there different designs?

A

Yes. Apex offers solid black grip tape with the Apex logo cut out, as well as designs featuring their signature triangle motif. Special editions may include pro rider logos or limited patterns.

Q

Is it easy to install?

A

Apply Apex grip tape like any other: clean the deck, peel the backing, press down from one end and smooth out bubbles. Use a file to mark the edges and cut off excess. The strong adhesive means you need to align it carefully—removing and repositioning isn’t recommended.

Q

Does it work well with Apex decks?

A

Apex grip tape pairs perfectly with Apex decks, matching their width and providing consistent grip across the platform. However, it fits other brands too, as long as the deck size is similar.

Q

How do I maintain it?

A

Avoid soaking the deck in water; moisture can loosen adhesive over time. If dirt accumulates, gently brush it off with a stiff brush or use a grip tape cleaner. Replace the tape when grit feels smooth or if the edges lift.

Q

Can the grip tape be removed and reused?

A

No. Once removed, the adhesive loses strength. Peel it off carefully, clean any residue and apply a new sheet of Apex tape for the best results.

Q

Is Apex grip suitable for street and park?

A

Yes. The coarse grit suits heavy street grinds and high-impact tricks in the park. However, the extra roughness can wear down shoes faster than softer griptape. Choose based on your balance of grip and shoe lifespan.
