Materials science Fork

The fork of a stunt scooter is a key component, as it supports the front wheel and has to absorb shocks and cushion tricks. There are several points to consider when purchasing or maintaining a fork. First, the material is crucial: high-quality forks are usually made of aluminium or steel and must be robust enough to withstand jumps and tricks without bending. Compatibility is also important: the fork must fit the wheel size, headset and compression system (HIC, SCS, Spider HIC) so that all components work together optimally.
