Proto OrionTH TDI Nex Raw - Scooter Neck
Proto OrionTH TDI Nex Raw - Scooter Neck
With improved geometry, everything about this neck has been updated. The headtube is now nearly half an inch shorter than it’s predecessor allowing for a full 1.5″ of fork clamping in your SCS with most standard length forks. An 84* headtube angle gives you more handlebar clearance to ride taller and wider bars and increases comfort and pop. The nose blunt area of the OrionTH Neck has been pulled back inside of the Deck Plate to reinforce and protect the areas most commonly impacted during nose blunts, crooks and smith grinds. The tail of the neck that sits inside the Deck now has a slight radius on the bottom to soften the rear corners to allow more flex to reduce the possibility of the neck piercing through the Deck extrusion under heavy impacts. Most notably, the OrionTH Neck features the biggest update in TDI history with the debut of the new TDIth (THreaded) Hardware, creating the tightest fitting, strongest Neck/Deck assembly to date.
COSMETICALLY: The top square corners have been removed and the front headtube support bar (after years of testing) was found to be unnecessary and was removed for a sleeker, cleaner and lighter weight neck!

TDI
Technology
TDI (TUNGLOK DECK INTEGRATION) US PATENT #8,528,921
TDI is a system of compatibility. This system was designed so that the deck (DEX) and neck (NEX)/headtube are separate components that are mated together utilizing a tongue and groove system with bolts to keep everything in place. The TDI system allows for interchangeable neck/decks allowing for maximum customization and upgrades of a single deck or neck. When your deck wears out on a TDI system you only need to replace the deck itself instead of the entire neck/deck assembly like a one piece deck. TDI has been rigorously team tested under the feet of a long list of some of the most talented, progressive and influential street riders world wide.
UBS
UBS (UNIVERSAL BRAKING SYSTEM) PATENT PENDING
The new Patent Pending PROTO Universal Braking System (UBS) is an update from the original 6-hole UBS system from 2010. The new UBS SLOT is the the world’s first fully adjustable brake mounting system, integrated into the deck itself, that allows for your brake size and weight to be minimized while still providing the flexibility for you to run any size wheel on your deck while also letting you fine tune your brake sensitivity. Nuts, washers and sockets have been eliminated with its integrated threads. Simply loosen the bolts with an Allen key, slide the brake lever to your desired position and tighten it down! UBS technology is featured on all PROTO Orion and Space decks.
FM Tech
FM TECH (FLUSH MOUNT TECHNOLOGY)
The PROTO Orion and Space decks are the world’s first decks to feature Flush Mount Technology. FM Tech allows you to trash your old “cone” shaped pegs which are notorious for bending axles and being incompatible with wider decks and allows you to start using straight Cylindrical Pegs and Deck-Ends which provide superior impact support all the way to your drop-outs. With Flush Mount Technology, the Peg/Deck-End Diameter is now standardized so the dropouts of the deck can perfectly contoured to fit your Pegs and Deck-Ends which allows the full width of your deck extrusion to provide an additional level of support on Peg/Deck-End impact. PROTO will be offering Pegs and Deck-Ends in a variety of materials from plastic to aluminum to steel, so your options will be virtually endless to suit any riding style or preference!
