micro® XT details

To get the XT model right, we had to start again from the very beginning and produce a scooter that was solely designed for xtreme use, not a scooter that was designed to commute and then modifed.


High quality dual injection handgrips. The handgrips are a combination of 55A (blue part) and 35A (black part) PU guaranteeing the best comfort and grip. The T-Stem features a sandblasted finish which ensures optimum grip between this and the lower stem.


The steering tube is especially developed for the XT and made exclusively of aircraft grade aluminium.
The handle bars are secured with a new quad locking clamp, specifically designed for the XT and allows the rider the option of single hand riding.


The traditional quick release clamp has been replaced by a single lock fixed clamp that once secured, works in conjunction with the sand blasted finish of the T-Stem to ensure it remains firmly locked down during use.



Connecting the stems to the fork is now done using a double-clamp system making this connection more stable than ever before. The headset has been improved and now features new headset rings which are heat-treated for improved strength and have a much tighter tolerance than systems used on other scooters.


The new fork is thicker and longer, and also offers the rider a different rake and rider angle than was available before. The new lower rake gives riders more control over the steering and gives a more comfortable, straight riding position for tricks.



The brake on the XT is stronger than all other brakes. And the spring is longer and stronger than those fitted on any other model.







The wheels are cast onto metal cores for greater strength and to eliminate the common problem of shattered hubs. To keep the ride as smooth as possible, these wheels have been developed using 20% more polyurethane. The XT model comes as standard with 100mm wheels, and it will also accept 110 or 120mm wheels depending on rider preference.


The double T footplate has been replaced with a larger new double square section platform which provides maximum strength and support and offers riders a more uniform platform for grinds that will last and last. The new footplate is fitted with a full length of grip for a more secure footing.


The new XT is hardcore and is intended to satisfy the very best riders out there. Even the folding mechanism is gone which has been the trademark of our brand for so long, as is the adjustable handlebar height and super light weight.

Once you've bolted and locked this scooter into position and set your preferred height, that's it; get on and ride this XT to the xtreme!
