According to the product specialist

Pros
The ideal choice if you are not familiar with carbon wheels: thanks to the 30 day money back guarantee you can try them out without any obligation.
Thanks to the aluminium braking edges on these carbon wheels you always have good braking power, even in wet weather.
The aerodynamic U-shaped rims are not wind sensitive and will keep your bike up to speed more easily.
These wheels do not have a maximum rider weight, so they can take a beating and handle heavier or stronger riders well.
Tubeless Ready (TLR) rims allow for quick conversion to a tubeless setup. If you do get a puncture, the hole is immediately filled by the latex in the tyre.
Ultegra's level of quality is well known, as you can see in these wheels: reliable bearings, straightpull spokes, lightweight.
These bearings are easy to maintain thanks to the smoothly running cup-conus system. Runs fantastically and is more durable than industrial bearings.
Can be used with tubes and tubeless!
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
Not a full carbon wheel, but rather an aluminium wheel with a carbon cover to enhance the aerodynamics.
This wheelset's code doesn't immediately indicate Ultegra, but its quality is at Ultegra level.
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.
