HIC or SCS

[SeanGarschi]

which would you guys choose? and why

 

[Jacob Alexander]

scs pro's
makes bars/fork stronger
any bars are compatibal

cons
lil heavy
cost more
limited amount of bars to choose from

hic pros
light
cheap

cons
you need slits in your bars which will soon lead to snapping your bars

so in the long run SCS

 

[jordyskoots]

go scs way more better just a bit heavy

 

[Jacob Alexander]

scs ftw

 

[KNOX LOCAL]

Scs all the way!

 

[alfie wisker]

i have had both and i love hic its way better

 

[Ian Marshall]

Ive had both, go with HIC. Lighter and cheaper and easier to maintain. And in no way does SCS make your bars/forks stronger.

 

[KNOX LOCAL]

well they're alot less likely to brake than running hic

 

[cody]

Ian... how doesn't it.. i't basically reinforces it.

 

[J SWEETS]

err hic strengthens fork the shim basically makes it thicker and scs doesnt reinforce at all.

 

[Joe Riley]

HIC. it doesn't loosen as easily as SCS at all.

 

[Rob.]

Locktite solves that ... not even a problem.

I'd say SCS even though i'm running HIC. fits all bars, removes slit, and ... clamps

 

[Buttered Bread]

i like both just about the same. i like hic alot though, its really simple, cheap, and light.

 

[alfie wisker]

^^agreed

 

[Ryan.Smith]

Like both the same as above said. but to me HIC easier to fix if problem, cheaper, easiler to install.

 

[dezbert]

SCS is dumb.

 

[Jacek]

HIC!

Its free
works better
looks cleaner

It is an SCS, without all the metal.

HIC = slit = weak point = breakage

SCS = no slit = no weak point = no breakage


With SCS there is no possibility of your bars breaking like slitted bars do. With HIC that possibility is still present. SCS is also much stronger structure-wise and provides more clamping power, equaling a more solid ride.

So.. SCS.
