CORE Scooter Griptape

Core uses high‑quality grit and adhesive, ensuring the tape maintains its grip for many sessions without flaking or peeling. Their tape is slightly thicker than some, adding cushioning while keeping a low profile. Graphic options feature clean designs, like the Core logo or patterns that match other Core components.

Core griptape is typically 5–6 inches wide and 22–24 inches long. This fits most scooter decks and leaves extra material for trimming. You can cut it down to fit narrower decks or unusual shapes.

Clean the deck thoroughly with rubbing alcohol, remove the backing and align the tape carefully. Press it down from one end, smoothing out air bubbles. Use a file or screwdriver to score around the edges, then cut the excess with a sharp knife. Finally, sand the edges lightly to prevent lifting.

Yes. Use a hair dryer to warm the adhesive, then peel the tape slowly. Sticky residue can be removed with citrus cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Avoid scraping the deck’s surface during removal.

Core collaborates with team riders to create signature griptape graphics. These designs may include riders’ logos or personalised artwork. They feature the same grit and adhesive as standard Core griptape.

Griptape longevity depends on riding frequency and conditions. Core tape can last several months of regular riding. Replace it when you notice worn, smooth areas or if the edges begin to peel.

The adhesive is water-resistant, but prolonged exposure to moisture can reduce its lifespan. Dry your deck after riding in wet conditions and avoid storing your scooter in damp areas.
