Stunt Scooter Clamps

How Does a Scooter Clamp Function?

A stunt scooter clamp secures your bar to the fork of your scooter. When it is tightened, the clamp ensures that both the fork and the bar remain stationary while riding.

Clamps are available in various sizes, determined by the count of bolts they utilise: single, double, triple, and quad. However, it is uncommon to encounter single clamps for trick scooters. Always ascertain that you acquire the correct size clamp with the appropriate diameter to ensure compatibility. Typically, the specification or manual will guide you on the size of clamp to choose.

Distinguishing Standard from Oversized Clamps

Based on the inner diameter, clamps can be categorised as standard or oversized. Standard clamps possess an inner diameter of 32 mm, fitting standard bars. Oversized scooter clamps have an inner diameter of 35 mm, suitable for oversized bars. Nevertheless, certain oversized clamps can accommodate standard bars with the use of an inner shim.

Defining SCS Clamps

SCS (standard compression system) clamps incorporate a built-in compression mechanism that serves as both a clamp and a compression system. These SCS scooter clamps come in triple and quad sizes, renowned for their ease of maintenance and their stable connection between the fork and bar. Bars with a slit cannot be used directly with SCS clamps unless an adapter is provided. By utilising SCS, one can reduce the risk of the bar breaking and have the ability to adjust the height without the necessity of cutting a slit.
