Pro Scooter Forks
Scooter Forks for Every Configuration
We provide durable and lightweight scooter forks suitable for any kind of scooter. Whether your pro scooter is set up for park, street, or a mix of both, you’ll discover a fork that complements your configuration and suits your preferences.
Below, we’ll address fundamental questions you might have when thinking of replacing your scooter fork. For more in-depth information, read our Scooter Forks Buying Guide.
Scooter Forks: An Overview
If you’re uncertain about which scooter fork to select, consider these straightforward guidelines:
- Ensure the fork can accommodate both the diameter and core width of your wheels
- Ensure the fork is compatible with your compression system
Phew! Continue reading for a detailed explanation of these guidelines.
Wheel Compatibility – Diameter and Width
Wheel Diameter
Before purchasing, confirm the maximum wheel diameter your fork can handle. Most forks are suitable for 110 mm wheels, while others can support up to 120 mm or 125 mm. Installing wheels that exceed your fork’s size capacity isn’t possible. You’ll find the maximum supported wheel diameter specified in the fork’s details.
Wheel Core Width
The standard width for scooter wheels is 24 mm, but wider wheels are gaining popularity. Some forks for wide wheels come with spacers, allowing you to fit narrower wheels as well. Nonetheless, a wide wheel cannot fit into a fork that’s only designed for narrow wheels.
Forks & Compression
If you select a fork compatible with your current compression system, installation should be hassle-free.
SCS and HIC forks are typically interchangeable, and many are designed by manufacturers to function with both setups. Some forks are tailored specifically for SCS or HIC, but this primarily depends on how much of the fork protrudes above the headset. HIC forks may be slightly longer than SCS forks, which means an HIC-specific fork might require a spacer to work with an SCS clamp.
IHC fork tubes are more slender than other styles and are best used with an IHC compression arrangement. If you have a compelling reason to deviate from this, you can explore our range of IHC-to-HIC conversion shims in the scooter compression parts section.
12-Standard Scooter Forks: A Unique Option
12STD scooter forks are built for larger axles and bearings, and are also designed to accommodate bigger wheels.
Though it’s possible to use spacers and fittings to mount standard-sized axles and bearings on a 12STD fork, the full benefits of a 12STD fork are only realised if your deck and wheels are 12STD compatible too.
If you’re swapping your 12STD fork or switching to a 12STD arrangement, ensure you select either an SCS or HIC 12STD fork based on your current setup to avoid compatibility issues with your bar, clamp, and compression.
Wheel Offset – Balancing Control and Agility
Offset affects your scooter's manoeuvrability. More offset enhances stability and results in smoother steering. Zero-offset forks position the wheel directly beneath the bar – making the scooter more nimble and easing the execution of nose wheelies, though such forks offer less stability at higher speeds.
- 10 mm offset: Predominantly chosen and preferred by most scooter riders
- Zero offset: Fast, reactive, perfect for technical tricks
