Why buy SCS Scooter Handlebars Bars?
The absence of a slit means the bar doesn’t compromise its structural integrity. SCS clamps compress evenly around the bar, ensuring a secure grip without the need for a slit.
What diameters do SCS bars come in?
Many SCS bars use an oversized 34.9 mm diameter to provide more surface area for clamping. Some bars come with shims to fit both standard (31.8 mm) and oversized setups.
Are SCS bars heavier than IHC or HIC bars?
They tend to be slightly heavier due to thicker tubing and lack of a slit. This added weight improves durability, which is advantageous for riders landing heavy tricks.
Can I use SCS bars with IHC or HIC?
Not unless you cut a slit and use appropriate shims. Cutting a bar reduces strength and voids warranties, so it’s recommended to stick with SCS or purchase bars designed for the other systems.
Who should use SCS bars?
Street riders and those who value a sturdy, wobble‑free setup. SCS systems handle heavy impacts and grinds without loosening, making them reliable for intense riding.
How do I install SCS bars?
Slide the bar into the SCS clamp, aligning it with the fork’s steerer tube. Tighten the clamp bolts evenly and adjust the bar height if needed. The compression bolt at the top of the clamp holds the fork and bars securely.
Do SCS bars come in aluminium or steel?
Both materials are available. Aluminium bars are lighter and suited for park riders, while steel bars offer more strength for street riding. Choose based on your weight preference and riding style.
Can I customise SCS bars?
Yes. Bars can be cut down for height or width, and you can add grips and bar ends. Remember to smooth any cut edges and reinstall bar ends for safety.
