Scope S5 Disc Road Bike Wheels

The Scope S5 Disc road bike wheels should be at the top of your list when you are looking for a wheelset for your races. The 55mm high aerodynamic rim is designed for high speeds. The Scope's are quick to get going after taking a turn or powering through a sprint. Although many high rims often perform poorly in windy conditions, this is not the case with the S5 wheels. On the contrary! Scope has designed its rims to be insensitive to crosswinds. This ensures high stability at higher speeds.

The Scope S5 Disc wheelset is equipped with durable SKF bearings with good sealing and low rolling resistance. The new 3-pin hubs are also used, for good engagement and excellent durability. The wheels are built on aerodynamic 55mm deep rims with an external rim width of 26mm. The pre-mounted tubeless rim tape and the tubeless valves allow the S5 wheels to be run tubeless. The wide rim in combination with a wider tubeless outer tyre provides greater comfort, lower rolling resistance and increased puncture resistance. The fact that there is no weight limit for the Scope S5 wheels simply means they are super sturdy. Scope underlines this with a 3-year warranty and a lifetime crash replacement programme.

3 Year Warranty
Quality is Scope's number one priority. After registering your wheelset on Scope's webiste, within 30 days of purchase, you activate the 3-year warranty. When registering your wheelset it is necessary to mention the serial number. The serial number can be found on the included registration card, the wheel box or the rim base.

Lifetime Crash Replacement programme.
Despite its high quality, a Scope wheelset cannot always withstand the consequences of a severe crash. This is why Scope offers a lifetime crash replacement programme in addition to the 3-year guarantee. With this programme, Scope gives you the chance to replace the wheel after a crash at a reduced rate.

Technology

High lateral stiffness
Scope wheels are built as a 'system'. Each part is connected to - and developed with - the complete wheel in mind. To create high stiffness, Scope optimised the flange. After all, a wide flange accounts for almost 60% of the total lateral stiffness of a wheelset. Scope has succeeded in keeping the spoke tension constant despite the use of a wide flange. The wide flange, optimal spoke tension and stiff wide carbon rim result in a very high lateral stiffness: 47-52 Nm/mm, quite a benchmark! All your energy is converted into speed.

Aerodynamic and tubeless
By compiling data collected over more than a year, Scope has been able to determine the extent to which the wind affects a wheelset. "Computational Fluid Dynamics' was then used to develop the 26mm U-shape rim to minimise the influence of air resistance and crosswind from all angles. The result: better performance than other brands. The profile of the rim was optimized for tubeless tyres in collaboration with TU Eindhoven and Schwalbe, while remaining compatible with all wire and folding tyres.

Lightweight
The Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft helped Scope to optimise the carbon structure for strength and stiffness. Scope was able to add extra reinforcement to the rim where the spoke nipples are, while saving weight between the spoke nipples; this was achieved using Local Reinforcement Technology. Together with Delft University of Technology, Scope has developed this technology further, reducing the weight of all racing and mountain bike rims without compromising stiffness and strength.

Extreme durability
Durability is the key factor in a hub's longevity. To protect the bearings from dirt and water, Scope has developed its own system. The end caps of the shafts completely seal the hubs in addition to the seals that seal the bearings themselves. Scope uses high-quality industrial SKF bearings. All in all, this helps to optimise the durability of the hubs.
