Pro Scooter Clamps
Reliable Scooter Clamps Keep It All Together
On this page, you’ll find all types of scooter clamps; both SCS and non-SCS, oversized and regular, quad, triple and dual clamps.
Your clamp is the glue that holds your bar and fork together, and a good-looking one can really elevate your street cred. So, up the ante and upgrade your scooter with a next-level clamp.
Scooter Clamps Compatibility
You’ll need to match the clamp to both your compression system and your bar’s outer diameter.
Standard vs. Oversized Scooter Clamps
The inner diameter of scooter clamps is essential. The clamp fits around the bar, so if its inner diameter is smaller than the bar’s outer diameter, it won’t fit. On the other hand, if the clamp’s inner diameter is too large, it won’t hold the bar tightly.
When a clamp is described as either standard size or oversized, it refers to the inner diameter of the clamp:
- Standard clamps have a 32 mm inner diameter.
- Oversized clamps have a 35 mm inner diameter and are made for oversized bars.
Some oversized clamps come with a shim, which lets them fit standard bars as well.
SCS Clamps vs. HIC, IHC, and ICS Clamps
The clamp is an integrated part of the compression system if you’re using SCS. In other words, SCS clamps are specifically designed for SCS setups.
If a clamp is not SCS, it will be compatible with all other compression systems, including HIC, IHC, and ICS, provided that the inner diameter is right.
A Brief Note About Scooter Bars, Slits & Clamps
A slit is a cut at the bottom of a scooter bar that allows the clamp to squeeze the bar tightly around the compression shim in HIC, IHC, and ICS setups.
If you’re using SCS compression, your bar must not have a slit at the bottom. For all other compression systems the bar must have a slit.
SCS clamps usually have 3 or 4 bolts to tighten because they clamp over a larger area, while other clamps typically have 2 bolts since they clamp over a smaller area. If the clamp exceeds the length of the slit, it can weaken the bar’s structural strength.
