help Ride1Up Core 8+ FAQ
Is Core 8+ an official Ride1Up model?
Ride1Up's official pages identify models such as the Core-5 and the folding Portola, but I could not match Core 8+ to an official current model. The catalog entry appears to combine the Core-5 name with specifications associated with another folding bike. [Ride1Up models](https://ride1up.com/shop/bikes/)
