HIPE H9 2021 (250154)

Even safer and lighter

Stunt scooter specialist brand HIPE has updated its flagship H9 model for 2021, making it even more reliable. The main change was the use of the SCS compression system instead of the HIC. It is almost perfect for street style riding, resistant to high jumps and hard landings, ready for professional tricks.

In addition, if earlier the handlebar and fork mounting system was supplemented by a 2-bolt clamp, then the HIPE H9 2021 uses a 4-bolt clamp. And with the help of an integrated steering column, it was even possible to reduce the overall weight of the model: it is now 4.25 kg compared to 4.41 kg.

Model deck

The main feature of the scooter is a high-quality aircraft-grade aluminium deck. It has large dimensions (55x14 cm) and a solid leg length margin of 40 cm. At the same time, thanks to the cutout in the centre, the board is not too heavy and has excellent aerodynamic characteristics.

And the deck also has welded edges that better cope with impacts, the correct rectangular shape and square rear dropouts (protrusions in which the wheel is fixed). With them, there is no need to install pegs to perform slides on curbs and railings: they can be performed on the board itself.

Other chips

Pleasant features of the model include fairly large (diameter 12 cm) wheels with a wide profile, ABEC 9 bearings and a high handlebar suitable for riders 160 – 190 cm tall. And the foot brake here is removable and complemented by a welded fender — a plate that is designed to prevent accidental braking and additionally protect the rear wheel from damage.

HIPE H9 2021 is a cool street scooter with an adequate price for its status. It can be recommended to intermediate and advanced users, as well as the most ambitious beginners.
