Core Scooter Decks

Core scooter decks are crafted for a variety of riding styles, from nimble park tricks to stable street grinds. The decks use aircraft-grade aluminium with extruded or forged headtubes, providing strength without excessive weight. Deck sizes and designs cater to beginners, intermediates and advanced riders. For deck selection tips, see our Stunt Scooter Buying Guide.

Decks are the foundation of any high-performing scooter, and the Core Scooter Decks collection brings a wide variety of shapes, lengths, and material strengths. These decks include forged or heat-treated aluminium, boxed rails, and graphics that match the rest of the Core line. You’ll find narrow decks for tricks with pop and flick, wider ones for stability, and builds engineered to reduce weight while preserving impact resistance. Core decks often use boosted welds and precision machining to keep tolerances tight.

When you choose a deck, pairing it with the right bar and fork matters — compare with the Core Scooter Bars so you get a compatible size and style, especially if you’re upgrading parts rather than buying a complete scooter.

Why buy Core Scooter Decks?

Q

What deck sizes does Core offer?

A

Core decks range from 4.5 inch park decks up to 6.0 inch street decks. Lengths vary from 19 to 23 inches. Narrower decks are lighter and spin faster; wider decks provide stability for grinds and manuals.

Q

What headtube styles are used?

A

Core uses both extruded and forged headtubes. Forged headtubes are stronger because the metal is shaped under high pressure. Extruded headtubes are lighter but still durable. All headtubes are integrated, simplifying headset installation.

Q

Do decks have boxed ends?

A

Some do. Core’s street decks feature boxed dropouts with welded inserts for grinding. Park decks may have angled dropouts to save weight. Choose based on whether you prioritise grinding surface or agility.

Q

Are Core decks heat-treated?

A

Yes. The 6061-T6 aluminium is heat-treated for increased strength. This process aligns the metal’s grain structure, making it less susceptible to cracks and bends.

Q

Which wheels fit?

A

Most Core decks accommodate 110 mm to 120 mm wheels. Some wider decks accept 125 mm wheels, but always check clearance for the brake or fender.

Q

Can I mount any brake?

A

Core decks come with a flex brake or fender. Aftermarket brakes are available, but ensure they match the deck’s mounting holes and wheel size. Some riders switch to a fender to eliminate brake interference during tricks.

Q

How much do Core decks weigh?

A

Weights vary. Park decks can weigh around 1.2–1.5 kg, while wider street decks weigh 1.6–2.0 kg. Light weight boosts agility; added weight provides stability for grinds.

Q

Who should choose Core decks?

A

Riders seeking a balance of affordability and performance. Core decks are mid-range in price but use high-quality materials. They suit intermediate riders upgrading from entry-level setups.
