Reviews over the

Scope R6.A

As a taller cyclist (1m96 and 103 kg), finding a wheelset that is aerodynamic ánd can handle my weight without any problems is quite a challenge. The Scope R6.A does not disappoint on any level. What an insanely stiff wheelset! In fierce accelerating or hard cornering, these wheels really don't budge. Not a millimetre of lateral flex or harsh braking, the power is instantly converted into speed. The 25mm internal rim width is an absolute gamechanger. I fitted them with 28mm Continental GP5000 outer tyres and a TPU inner tube. Due to the wide rim, these tyres come out as exactly 31mm in practice. As a result, I ride with a larger air volume at a lower tyre pressure (approx. 5.5 - 6 bar). The result is a bizarrely comfortable ride where vibrations from the asphalt completely disappear, without compromising on rolling resistance. On the flat, you really notice what these 65mm deep rims do. Once up to speed, they maintain their speed fantastically. You immediately get a generous helping of 'free' speed. Yes, with this height you catch the occasional gust from the side, but the wheel reacts very gradually and predictably. Mounting the tyres also went very smoothly on the hooked rim bed. For anyone looking for a purebred aero upgrade that also feels indestructible: look no further.
