Ruote Gravel Scope R5.A Road & Gravel wheels

The Scope R5.A Gravel wheels are perfectly suited for paved and unpaved trails, but also as aero wheels on the road. The gravel bike is becoming more and more an all-round bike that has to perform both on asphalt and on forest trails and gravel paths. Therefore, on the one hand it requires an aerodynamic wheel that fits a wider tyre from 28mm or wider. Thanks to an external rim width of 30mm, wide and comfortable tyres fit perfectly. This allows the Scope R5.A wheels to easily filter out the vibrations released when cycling on dirt tracks.

In addition to the regular Scope Race Series, these gravel wheels also feature the Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics technology (AEA), whereby the optimal rim shape is achieved. This ensures even more stability at high speeds, which is a great benefit when riding on asphalt. The Scope R5.A wheelset is equipped with durable SKF bearings with a good seal and low rolling resistance. The Diamond Ratchet body system is a newly developed engagement system that ensures that the delivered power is transferred to the wheel even faster.

3 Year Warranty
Quality is Scope's number one priority. After registering your wheelset on their website within 30 days of purchase, you activate the 3-year warranty. When registering your wheelset it is necessary to mention the serial number. This can be found on the registration card provided, the wheel box or on the flange of the rear hub.

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 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.

Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics (AEA)
The rim profile of Scope wheels was developed using Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics (AEA) technology. This algorithm calculates the most aerodynamic rim profile to ensure optimum performance. For the previous generation of Scope wheels, countless hours were spent drawing hundreds of different rim profiles, which were then analysed using CFD in an attempt to find the optimal and most aerodynamic rim profile. This method of trial and error approaches the optimum rather than defining it. Together with Delft University of Technology (NL), an algorithm has been developed that defines the coordinates for the most aerodynamic rim profile. This unique innovation in aerodynamics is called Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics.

Hub system
The Scope hub system has been redeveloped. Proven features such as wide flange spacing (for high lateral stiffness), custom-made oversized (6803/6903) SKF bearings and the tool-free adapter system have remained and have only been refined where possible. In addition to the SKF bearings, CeramicSpeed bearings remain available as an upgrade for the Race series.

Diamond Ratchet Body System
The Diamond Ratchet body system is a newly developed engagement system which ensures that the power delivered is transferred to the wheel even faster. The standard 36T ratchet ring can be exchanged for a 48T ring for an even quicker engagement. Compatible with all groupsets: Shimano, Shimano Micro Spline, Sram XDR, Campagnolo and Campagnolo N3W.

Tubeless system
The geometry of the unique Scope Tubeless System allows for easy fitting, instant inflation, long-lasting pressure and compatibility with all (tubeless) tyres.

Local Reinforcement
With the Local Reinforcement carbon technology the number of carbon layers around the spoke holes on the inside of the rim has been increased. In this way the weight is significantly reduced while maintaining strength and rigidity.

• Scope R5.A wheelset
• Tubeless rim tape (pre-installed)
• Tubeless valves (pre-installed)
• 10 speed cassette spacer
• Warranty registration card

• Cassette remover Shimano or Campagnolo
• (possibly a torque wrench)

Installing a cassette on a wheel is easy if you have the right tools. If you purchase a cassette remover with a Shimano fit, you will be able to mount either a Shimano or Sram cassette on your rear wheel. Please note! For a Campagnolo cassette you need the Campagnolo tool. If you have a Shimano 9/10-speed cassette, first slide the spacer over the body. Then you place the cassette on the body. This can only be done in one way because of the fit of the body. Finally you turn the washer straight on by hand and tighten it with the cassette tool. Cassettes aren’t easily overtightened, but if you want you can use a torque wrench for this.

• Pay attention to the direction of travel when mounting your tyres.
• For Shimano 9/10-speed, do not forget to mount the spacer first before installing the cassette.
• Make sure the rim tape is stuck well in the rim.
• The body for 12 speed Sram XDR has to be bought separately
