Race – Road wheels | Developed for paved roads, offering best in class aerodynamics, at a race ready weight, and are built to last.

Scope launches their new R-Series, derived from the award-winning Artech series. Built from the same engineering DNA, the R-Series brings revolutionary technology to a broader stage, delivering best in class aerodynamics, at a race ready weight, and durability designed to last.

By adopting the proven rim profiles of the Artech series (without making use of the Aeroscales), the new R-Series guarantees optimal aerodynamic performance. The benchmark leading R-series wheels come with steel spokes and offers a weight of 1349 grams for the new R4 (45 mm) all-round wheelset, and just 1525 grams for the new R6 (65 mm) aero wheelset.

Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics 2.0

The shape of the Artech rims is defined by the Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics (AEA) technology. This algorithm optimizes the most aerodynamic rim-profile guaranteeing optimal aerodynamic performance.

The initial AEA algorithm, developed in 2017 in collaboration with the University of Technology Delft (aerospace engineering), was 2D-based and included the interaction effect of the rim and tire in the optimization. To redefine the benchmark of aerodynamics, Scope evolved their algorithm by making it 3D based including the complete bike with components into the optimization.

The new R-series hubs

Beyond aerodynamic gains, a key objective for the new R-Series was a significant reduction in weight. To achieve this, we studied the Artech hubs and applied the same design principles to the new R-Series hub, without compromising the design brief. The result is a hub set that is not only lighter, but also stiffer and more durable.

The lightweight, CNC-machined R-Series hubs feature Scope’s proven Diamond Ratchet engagement system for instant power transfer and long-term reliability. A mechanical labyrinth seal effectively blocks dirt from entering the hub, further increasing durability. In addition, the hubs are engineered for bladed T-head spokes, preventing spoke twist and ensuring consistent performance.

As with all Scope hub sets, the new R-Series hubs are compatible with all major freehub body standards, including Shimano HG / Micro Spline, SRAM XDR, and Campagnolo / N3W.
