FAQ – ICS Compression System for Stunt Scooters
What is ICS on a scooter?
ICS (Inverted Compression System) is a lightweight setup that uses a long bolt and a star nut hidden inside the bar to keep the fork and handlebar tight while allowing smooth spins.
Which bars fit ICS?
You need a steel scooter bar with a slit and an inner diameter of about 28 mm so the star nut can sit securely.
Do I need a special fork for ICS?
Yes. The fork must be made for ICS and have space for the long compression bolt. IHC or HIC forks will not work.
How do I install the star nut?
Remove the bar, place the star nut on a setting tool or long bolt, and tap it into the bottom of the bar until it sits a few centimeters inside, straight and tight.
How often should I tighten the ICS bolt?
Check and retighten every few riding sessions, especially after hard park landings, to keep the headset free of play.
Why is ICS common on older Ethic scooters?
Early Ethic models like the Erawan were built for extreme lightness and used ICS because it’s the lightest compression system available.
