SCOPE wheelset 28" Road S4 rim brake
"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. In doing so, 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.
You can already feel the high quality of Scope in the Sport series. This was also developed in the Netherlands, is hand-built and ideal for daily use or for your training laps. Their wheels also offer excellent value for money.
Scope also caters to fans of classic road bikes, as they still offer wheels for rim brakes, which is not a matter of course, especially in the carbon sector.The S4 wheelset is the ideal all-rounder which, thanks to its high lateral stiffness, good aerodynamics and yet low weight, will give you many advantages when setting the pace on the flat as well as on hilly terrain.
Hubs
At the center of each wheel are Scope's own S-hubs. Their simple, straightforward and therefore elegant design blends perfectly into the overall picture. The hub body is milled from aluminium and has a first-class finish. The axle runs on very high-quality SKF ball bearings, which are made of specially hardened and tempered steel and therefore have very low rolling resistance. In order to maintain full performance even under the most adverse conditions, special attention was also paid to reliable sealing.
The rear wheel is driven by a tried and tested pawl freewheel system. Three wide pawls engage in the ratchets at the same time and guarantee the best function. They also produce a great, not too intrusive sound.
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 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.
It goes without saying that the wheelset is tubeless-compatible. Suitable valves and rim strips are already fitted so that you can benefit from the advantages of this system straight away. In addition, the rim flange with hooks ensures a secure fit of the tires, especially when high air pressures are used with inner tubes.
Spokes
Scope has left nothing to chance with the spokes either. The tried and tested Sapim CX leaders are used. These are strong enough for durable wheels, but also have enough flexibility to withstand harder impacts. In addition, the flattened center section ensures excellent aerodynamics, while the elimination of the highly stressed spoke bend eliminates a potential breaking point and thus further minimizes the susceptibility to punctures.
Warranty and crash replacement
The makers of Scope have absolute confidence in their S products and grant the original 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/.
