Pro Scooter Bars
Find the Perfect Scooter Bar and Rise Above
Explore our wide range of pro scooter bars – from lightweight aluminum to ultra-strong titanium – and get the perfect fit to match your personal preferences.
Below, you’ll find the basic concepts to consider when choosing a new bar for your precious scooter.
Scooter Bar Height
Your scooter bar should reach between the hips and navel when standing with your feet on the scooter deck. This height is good for the posture and enables you to pull the bar for wild tricks.
- Measure from the bottom of the front wheel and up to the point where the bar sits when installed.
- Add this measurement to the height of the bar.
Voila! You now know how high your scooter will be with the new bar mounted.

Scooter Bars Compatibility
Following the two guidelines below ensures that you find a scooter bar compatible with your current setup.
- Always choose a bar that is compatible with your current compression system (check the bar's specifications).
- If you’re switching to a bar with a wider outer bar diameter than your current one, check whether you also need a larger clamp.
Use the “Compatible with” filter at the top of this page to sort our selection of scooter bars by compression system.
Diameter of Scooter Bar Explained
There are two measurements to pay attention to when it comes to the compatibility of pro scooter bars: the inner and outer diameter of the bar.
- Regular bars: 28 mm inner diameter / 32 mm outer diameter
- Oversized bars: 32 mm inner diameter / 35 mm outer diameter
- Aluminum bars: 28 mm inner diameter / 35 mm outer diameter (for added strength)
The outer diameter of the bar must match the inner diameter of your clamp. If you're switching to a bar with a different outer diameter, make sure your clamp is compatible.

How Do Material and Shape Affect Performance of Scooter Bars?
Scooter handlebars come in three main materials – steel, aluminum, and titanium. Here’s what you need to know:
Steel / chromoly scooter bars
- Stronger and more impact-resistant than aluminum bars.
- Flexible and more forgiving than aluminum bars.
- Heavier than both aluminum and titanium bars.
- Cheaper than other bars.
Aluminum scooter bars
- Lighter than steel bars and even a bit lighter than some titanium bars.
- Rigidity rather than flexibility.
- Do not corrode or rust.
- Cheaper than titanium bars.
Titanium scooter bars
- Light while being nearly as strong as steel bars.
- Durable.
- Flexible, so on heavy landings they absorb some of the impact.
- Expensive material.
Scooter Bar Shape; a Y or a T?
T-shaped bars offer a minimalist, classic aesthetic, often preferred by street riders. They are essentially a tube welded at the middle perpendicular to the top of another tube. This design doesn’t allow many options for added reinforcements, but it also avoids introducing weak points since the tubes are entirely straight with no curves. T-shaped bars are often made of steel or titanium, though aluminum versions do exist.
Y-shaped bars open up a range of design possibilities. They typically include gussets to improve structural strength and are often made of aluminum – a favorite among riders who prioritize low weight and technical tricks. Another feature of some Y-bars is backsweep, which some prefer due to enhanced comfort.
While T-bars are often associated with street riding and Y-bars with park riding, neither excludes the other. It’s up to you to find the bar with the characteristics that support your progression while also matching your personal aesthetic preferences.
