According to the product specialist
Pros
| Same rim as the more expensive Shimano Dura Ace C50 rims. |
| Steel body, so the cassette won't bite into the body. |
| Combination of a deep section carbon rim and the stopping power of an aluminium rim. |
| All-round deployable 50mm high carbon wheels for rim brakes with a low weight of 1615g. |
| The rim width of 28mm gives a huge aerodynamic advantage and feels stable in the wind. |
| Strong and durable Pilar straight-pull spokes for instant power transfer and less chance of spoke breakage. |
| The set uses semi-ceramic bearings for low rolling resistance and maximum wattage gains. |
| The internal rim width of 17mm allows riding tyres of 23-33mm. |
| 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
| The deeper rim makes the wheel heavier. |
| The internal rim width of 17mm lags slightly behind the trends but allows 23mm to be fitted. |
| 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. |
