According to the product specialist
Pros
| The Zipp 808 wheels are aimed at pure speed because of the 82 mm high rim. Thanks to optimal aerodynamics, you can cycle faster without extra effort. |
| Both tubeless and folding tyres can be mounted on the rims. This makes it possible to ride tubeless, with benefits such as lower rolling resistance, better grip and more comfort. |
| The Zipp ZR1 hubs, developed in Germany, have bearings with a good seal and improved durability. The 6 pawl body engages super fast so minimal energy is lost when you start pedalling. |
| Lifelong guarantee on production faults, except for wear and tear. Ultimate certainty! |
| The low weight of 1447 in combination with the 45mm deep rim, makes the Scope R4 wheels a very good all-round wheel set that is absolutely on par with the Zipp 303. |
| Thanks to the Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics technology, the rim is optimised to achieve the optimal and most aerodynamic rim profile. |
| The Diamond Ratchet Body system is extremely light and ensures that the power delivered is transferred to the wheel even faster. |
| The pre-mounted tubeless rim tape makes the wheels tubeless in a flash, increasing comfort, lowering rolling resistance and increasing puncture resistance. |
| Scope wheels are developed in the Netherlands in cooperation with Schwalbe, SKF, TU Eindhoven and TU Delft, so high quality is guaranteed. |
| The Campagnolo Bora WTO 45 wheels are of top quality and excel in aerodynamics, weight and stiffness. |
| The AC3 brake rim ensures good braking performance in all conditions comparable to aluminium rims. |
| The 19mm internal rim width makes it possible to ride with outer tubes from 23 to 30 mm. The wide tyres provide more comfort and low rolling resistance. |
| The G3 spoke pattern saves weight by using fewer spokes and provides better power transfer. |
| The 2-Way Fit rim profile allows for both tubeless and folding tyres and inner tubes. |
| The low weight of only 1555 grams in combination with the 45mm high rim, makes the Scope S4 wheels a very good all-round wheelset that can compete with the Zipp 303. |
| The highly developed carbon brake surface can withstand temperatures of up to 280 degrees and performs well in all conditions, even in the rain! |
| The pre-installed tubeless rim tape makes the wheels tubeless in no-time; this ensures more comfort, lower rolling resistance and higher puncture resistance. |
| An extended warranty period of 3 years and a lifetime crash replacement program give you a lot of security with Scope! |
| Scope wheels are developed in the Netherlands in cooperation with Schwalbe, SKF, TU Eindhoven and TU Delft, so high quality is guaranteed. |
Cons
| Due to the carbon rim brake structure, this wheel is less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of blowouts or rim deformation. |
| The height of the rim makes you more sensitive to side winds. |
| No wheel bags or brake discs are included when buying a wheelset. |
| A body for Sram XDR, Campagnolo or Campagnolo N3W is available separately. |
| For an even more aerodynamic set, you should take a look at the Campagnolo Bora WTO 60 wheels. |
| The carbon braking surface makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of a blowout or rim deformation. |
| There is not much choice in brake pads. For the best braking performance and long life of the rims you should use Scope brake pads. |
| The carbon rim brake structure makes this wheel less suitable for long mountain descents with the risk of blowouts or rim deformation. |
