CORE CD1 Scooters

The Core CD1 is an entry-to-intermediate level scooter designed for riders progressing from basic tricks to more complex maneuvers. It features a 4.7 inch deck, aluminium bar and IHC compression. The CD1 focuses on lightweight performance, making it ideal for park enthusiasts learning whips, bri flips and bar spins. For beginner scooter guidance, see our Stunt Scooter Buying Guide.

The CD1 is another pro model in Core’s lineup, featuring premium components and refined geometry for advanced street riding. Lightweight yet sturdy, CD1 completes often include heat-treated decks, quality bars, and performance wheels. The graphics typically represent the pro rider’s branding and are as much a collector’s piece as a rideable scooter.

Why buy CORE CD1 Scooters?

Q

How wide and long is the deck?

A

The CD1 uses a 4.7 inch wide deck, measuring about 20 inches long. This mid-range width balances foot space for stability with the agility required for quick rotations.

Q

What material is the bar?

A

An aluminium bar keeps the weight low while providing adequate strength for park tricks. It’s typically around 23 inches tall and 22 inches wide, suited for younger or smaller riders.

Q

Which compression system does it use?

A

The CD1 uses IHC compression, which is light and easy to assemble. IHC requires a slit in the bar to clamp properly. It’s common in scooters targeting younger riders due to its simplicity.

Q

Are the wheels good for park?

A

Yes. The CD1 comes with 110 mm wheels with mid-hard urethane, providing a smooth ride and good grip in skate parks. You can upgrade to 115 mm wheels if the fork allows, adding speed.

Q

Who should buy the CD1?

A

Riders graduating from their first scooter and looking to learn more advanced tricks. The lightweight setup supports progress in the park without being overly heavy or expensive.

Q

Can it handle street riding?

A

Light grinding is possible, but the deck’s narrower width and lighter construction mean it’s not built for intense street use. Street riders should consider the CG1 or SL series.

Q

Can I upgrade the CD1?

A

Yes. You can replace bars (provided they fit the compression system), wheels and clamps. This allows riders to grow into the scooter and customise it over time.

Q

How heavy is it?

A

The CD1 weighs approximately 3.0 kg (about 6.6 lb). Its aluminium bars and narrow deck help keep it one of the lighter options in Core’s line.
