SCOPE front wheel 28" Road R8.T
"Winners have a plan, losers an excuse" - Scope has no excuse. Their products are made for winners and are bursting with innovation and quality. The engineers and designers from the Netherlands live for their passion, cycling. They tinker, try and test with just one goal in mind - to build the best wheelsets in the world. They rely on the latest know-how, use strong partnerships and incorporate scientific findings into their development work. You can now become part of this challenge and be convinced by the outstanding wheels. The Race series is based on the Artech wheels, has their DNA and is particularly appealing to ambitious amateur riders.
If you are looking for the ultimate speed, the R8.T is the wheel for you. It combines perfect aerodynamics and crosswind stability with a very low weight. In the battle against the clock or on flat stages in the peloton, you save valuable energy and can then use it optimally in the finish.
Hubs
At the center of the wheel is Scope's own R-hub. Its simple, straightforward and therefore elegant design fits perfectly into the overall picture. The hub body is milled from high-quality aluminium and has a first-class finish. The axle runs on very high-quality SKF ball bearings, which are made of highly tempered steel and therefore have very low rolling resistance. Particular attention was paid to perfect sealing, with a labyrinth system effectively preventing the ingress of water and dirt so that full performance is maintained even under the most adverse conditions.
Rims
In addition to the hubs, the rims are another important component of a wheel. These in particular have a significant influence on weight and agility. Of course, the makers at Scope have left nothing to chance here either. Carbon was chosen as the standard material. This is light, stiff and very robust if processed correctly.
The shape of the rims is also crucial for good riding characteristics. To optimize them, the AEA "Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics" algorithm was further developed, which not only considers the interaction between rim and tire, but also includes the entire bike and its components in the calculation. The cross-section has been designed in such a way that braking turbulence is minimized and a high level of riding stability is ensured even in strong crosswinds.
The low weight of the rim is due not only to the use of high-quality fibers, but also to the intelligent layer structure. For example, on the inside of the rim, not the entire area has been reinforced, but only locally around the spoke holes. Although this increases the manufacturing effort, it guarantees high strength and rigidity and a lightweight rim.
The front wheel is of course tubeless-compatible. A suitable valve and rim tape are already fitted so that you can benefit from the advantages of this system immediately. In addition, the rim flange with hooks ensures a secure fit of the tire, especially when high air pressures are used with a tube.
Spokes
Scope has left nothing to chance with the spokes either. The tried and tested Sapim CX-Ray is used. The Belgians have succeeded in developing an exceptional spoke. In addition to its low weight, it has an exceptional load capacity and flexibility. This also results in a wide range of applications. Whether racing cyclists or mountain bikers, everyone benefits from these positive properties. The flattened middle section also ensures excellent aerodynamics. The high material quality enables the construction of stable wheels and guarantees a long service life. In addition, the elimination of the highly stressed spoke bend eliminates a potential breaking point and thus further minimizes the susceptibility to punctures.
All these features allow Scope to release its wheels without weight restrictions. This is an absolute novelty in this weight class and testifies to the high quality of workmanship.
Warranty and crash replacement
The makers of Scope have absolute confidence in their R products and grant the first purchaser a 3-year warranty on all material and manufacturing defects. All you have to do is register on their website within 30 days of purchase and they also offer a lifetime crash replacement. You can also find the current conditions for this at www.scopecycling.com/de/crash-replacement/.
