Apex Scooter Parts Guide – Decks, Bol Bars, Forks & Clamps Explained

Introduction: Apex Scooter Parts

Since 2007, Skates.co.uk has helped riders build custom scooters that perform, and Apex is one of the most respected names in aftermarket parts. Known for clean design and rider-tested quality, Apex makes a full line of decks, bars, forks and clamps that work brilliantly together or as upgrades to an existing setup. This guide explains the main Apex parts in plain English so you can pick the right pieces for your build.

Apex Decks

Apex decks are a favourite with park and street riders alike, thanks to their boxed-end strength and clean machined finish. There are two main shapes to know about.

  • Boxed decks: the Apex Pro Boxed deck has square, boxed ends that give a larger surface for grinds and locks, making it a popular street and all-round choice. It comes in 5" widths in a couple of lengths.
  • Tapered decks: the Apex Pro Tapered deck trims weight at the ends for a lighter, more park-focused feel, in a 5" x 19.3" size.

Apex also makes signature and splatter decks in narrower 4.5" widths and shorter lengths, which suit smaller riders or anyone who prefers a more compact deck. Browse current sizes and colours in the Apex decks collection, and see the full scooter decks buying guide for help choosing a size.

Apex Bars: The Bol

The Apex Bol is one of the best-known bars in scootering, a steel bar prized for its strength and clean looks. It is made from 4130 chromoly steel, so it is tough enough for hard street and park use, and it comes in a wide choice of colours with a smart powder-coat finish. There are a few versions to match your compression and height needs.

  • Bol Oversized HIC: the oversized HIC Bol runs 610mm high by 560mm wide, suiting taller riders and HIC compression setups.
  • Bol Standard SCS: the standard SCS Bol runs 590mm by 560mm and is built for SCS compression, a popular choice for a clean, strong front end.

Make sure the bar matches your compression system and fork before buying. Our compression systems guide explains HIC, SCS and the rest, and the scooter handlebars buying guide covers bar height and width. Browse colours in the Apex bars collection.

Apex Forks: Quantum and Infinity

Apex forks are designed to pair neatly with the brand's bars and decks. The Quantum and Quantum Lite forks run SCS/HIC compatibility, with the Lite version shaving weight for park riders, while the Infinity fork is another strong SCS/HIC option. Because forks must match your deck, wheels and compression, check fitment carefully. Browse current colours in the Apex forks collection, and see the scooter forks buying guide if you are unsure.

Apex Clamps and Griptape

To finish a build, Apex also makes matching clamps and griptape. Apex clamps come in double and SCS styles to suit your compression, and they are a popular way to tie a setup together in a single colour. Apex griptape is cut for scooter decks and gives reliable grip for tricks. See the Apex clamps collection and Apex griptape collection for current options.

Building a Full Apex Setup

One of the reasons riders like Apex is how well the parts go together. A typical Apex build might pair a Boxed or Tapered deck with a Bol bar, a Quantum fork, a matching clamp and Apex griptape, all in coordinated colours. If you want help putting a setup together, our team has been building scooters since 2007 and is happy to advise.

FAQs

What is the Apex Bol bar? The Bol is Apex's signature handlebar, made from 4130 chromoly steel for strength. It comes in oversized HIC and standard SCS versions and a wide range of colours, and it is one of the most popular steel bars in scootering.

What is the difference between a boxed and a tapered Apex deck? Boxed decks have square ends with more surface for grinds and locks, which suits street and all-round riding. Tapered decks trim the ends to save weight, giving a lighter, more park-focused feel.

Which Apex fork do I need? It depends on your bars and compression system. The Quantum and Quantum Lite run SCS/HIC, with the Lite saving weight for park riders, and the Infinity is another SCS/HIC option. Check your bar and deck compatibility before buying.
