The brand new Type R GT is our lightest pro model stunt scooter to date, and is the world’s lightest pro scooter for its size. Weighing an astonishing 3.1kgs, 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.
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.
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.

Full Stunt Scooter Buying Guide
What is a Stunt Scooter?
A stunt scooter is designed specifically to withstand a lot of punishment. You can do jumps, tricks and stunts on it,ﾠand use it atﾠa skate park.
Although no scooter is covered under warranty for use at a skate park (as the stress put on the item would be limitless), some help is still offered if a part breaks within the first 3 months of purchase.ﾠGenerally, the manufacturer will not replace entire scooters that become faulty or damaged, but will cover replacement components.
Extreme scooters generally don't feature a folding mechanism or adjustable handlebar height (as seen on some models for young kids) as it weakens the strength of the setup. Instead, they generally have a one-piece handlebar which is much stronger. They usually need to be assembled by placing the handlebars onto the stem of the fork and tightening the clamp which holds both parts together.
Extreme scootersﾠalso tend to be heavier than a folding scooter. This is because parts areﾠreinforced for strength, or more parts are present to strengthen the entire build. However, with stunt scooters becoming more technologically advanced as time goes on, stunt scooters are getting lighter (you want them to be easy to lift and jump on, after all). It's definitely worth comparing scooters (the total weight should be on the product description) to make sure that what you're buying isn't heavier than necessary. Abut 4.5kg is probably average, with some models inching towards a very desirable 3.5kg.
Extreme scooters are frequentlyﾠmore expensive than a recreational scooter. Prices can vary from £65 - £250 , but it's not money for nothing. You're paying for a scooter that's more robust than the norm and ready for a pounding!
