Why buy CORE CL1 and CL2 Scooters?

Q

What are the key differences between CL1 and CL2?

A

The CL2 typically includes slightly upgraded components: a lighter deck, stronger fork or larger wheels compared to the CL1. The CL1 is the entry point, offering an affordable yet capable setup, while the CL2 caters to riders wanting a slight performance boost.

Q

How wide are the decks?

A

CL series decks measure around 4.5 inches wide—ideal for park tricks requiring quick foot placement. They’re usually 19–20 inches long, making them easier to spin and whip.

Q

What material are the bars?

A

Aluminium bars help keep weight low. They’re lighter than steel bars used in street scooters, making bar spins and tail whips easier for younger riders.

Q

Which compression system is used?

A

The CL series uses IHC compression, which is light and easy to maintain. This system uses a shim and a single bolt, making assembly straightforward.

Q

What wheel size do they come with?

A

Most CL scooters include 110 mm wheels. Some CL2 models may use 115 mm wheels for a bit more speed. The urethane is medium hardness to balance grip and speed in skateparks.

Q

Are they good for street riding?

A

They can handle light street use, but the narrower deck and lighter construction aren’t built for heavy grinds or big drops. Street riders should consider Core’s CG or SL series.

Q

Can I upgrade the CL series?

A

Yes. Swap wheels, bars or clamps to customise the scooter. Just ensure that any new parts match the compression system and deck size.

Q

Who should buy these?

A

Intermediate park riders or ambitious beginners ready to invest in a lightweight scooter. The CL series bridges the gap between entry‑level and pro setups.
