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! |
| All-round aerodynamic wheels with a 60 mm rim height. Carbon wheels for rim brakes with a low weight of 1540g. |
| The 28 mm outer rim width increases comfort and aerodynamics, and makes for a stable feel in the wind. |
| With a 19 mm inner rim width, the wheels can accommodate 23 - 30 mm tyre widths. |
| The set uses semi-ceramic bearings for low rolling resistance. |
| All-round aerodynamic wheels with a 50 mm rim height. Carbon wheels for rim brakes with a low weight of 1485g. |
| The 29 mm outer rim width increases comfort and aerodynamics, and makes for a stable feel in the wind. |
| With a 19 mm inner rim width, the wheels can accommodate 23 - 30 mm tyre widths. |
| The set uses semi-ceramic bearings for low rolling resistance. |
| 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. |
| The 19 mm inner rim width is not entirely in line with the current trend but does allow you to fit 23 mm tyres. |
| The 19 mm inner rim width is not entirely in line with the current trend but does allow you to fit 23 mm tyres. |
| 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. |
