Root Type R GT black stunt scooter

Root Type R GT is the perfect Pro-level park scooter designed for riders aged 8 to 14 years

The brand new Type R GT is our lightest pro model scooter to date, and is the world’s lightest pro scooter for its size. Weighing an astonishing 3.26kgs, with a 5” wide deck and 600mm tall bars, the Type R GT is our most premium scooter in the Type R range. Packed with some of the most innovative products Root Industries has ever made, the Type R GT features our famous HMA Aluminium bars, Lotus Wheels, new GT clamp, Fractal Grips, Air headset and cold-forged single piece forks.

ALL NEW TYPE R GT DECK
At 5" wide, and 19.5" long this deck is a perfect size for riders looking to improve their park tricks. Cleverly designed to maximise foot space, yet compact enough to prevent flyouts, this deck is the result of years of trial and error from the Root team. The GT deck achieves unrivalled lightness, without compromising on strength thanks to the triple-channel cavity design and the unique use of Magnesium-rich 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy.

HMA BARS
Our famous HMA bars are made from a Hi-Modulus Alloy, which retains the lightness of regular aluminium, but is 25% stronger. No other scooter bar has this unique characteristic, and now we've made them available as stock on the Type R GT scooter.

LOTUS WHEELS
The Lotus wheels are evolved from our Honeycore wheels, but use a slightly softer PU compound. Perfect for riders who want more control, the Ultra High Rebound + Grip PU is designed to perform optimally for indoor skateparks and smooth concrete surfaces, where slippery conditions can be a problem. This hybrid wheel retains the speed that make Honeycore wheels so popular, but with a little bit extra grip to help you land more tricks as you progress your skills.

FRACTAL GRIPS
Our all-new Fractal grips have been designed to redefine what makes the perfect scooter grip. Using our  unique slow-rebound compound for unbeatable comfort and shock absorption, we have used AI to design the most efficient shaped grooves to disperse sweat faster, keeping your hands drier for longer. The grips are thinner to further improve overall grip strength. All this to give you the ultimate control and comfort where it matters most.

GT CLAMP
The stylish and minimal clamp design reduces the weight of the scooter, but provides ultimate clamping strength thanks to the dual high tensile 6mm bolts.

Correct choice of your scooter can play big difference of how satisfied you will be riding it. We strongly suggest you to read and consider our recommendations before purchase:

• We recommend choosing scooter which height is somewhere in between the hip and navel.
• For kids and teenagers which still grow, you can choose even higher scooter with confidence.
• Please note that stunt scooter handle bar height and width CAN be adjusted (reduced) according to riders height.
• Taktika.lv is specialized scooter shop and does perform scooter bar adjusting/cutting in height and width. Comfortable bar overall width is 6-10cm wider than riders shoulders.
• We are sure that most of our shop scooters can be adjusted to our clients needs!

Bar height is personal preference of each scooter rider. Part of experienced scooter riders are choosing higher bar, while other part likes it low. It all depends on riding style or how you personally prefer it! For everyday riding to school or longer distances, we recommend higher bar position.
If you still can't decide which scooter height is the best for you, don't hesitate to call our staff +371 26035765 or write us email to info@taktika.lv
