According to the product specialist
Pros
Thanks to a combination of low weight and a 45 mm half-high rim, the Zipp 303 Firecrest Tubeless Rim Brake wheels are all-rounders. |
Tubeless tyres can be fitted to the rims with or without inner tubes. This makes it possible to ride tubeless, with advantages 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 quick, resulting in minimal energy loss when the rider starts pedaling. |
The Zipp ShowStopper brake surface ensures smooth braking in both wet and dry weather. |
Lifelong guarantee covering all manufacturing errors, excepting wear and tear. Ultimate certainty! |
The low weight of 1447 in combination with the 45mm deep rim, makes the Scope R4 wheels a very good all-round wheel set that is absolutely on par with the Zipp 303. |
Thanks to the Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics technology, the rim is optimised to achieve the optimal and most aerodynamic rim profile. |
The Diamond Ratchet Body system is extremely light and ensures that the power delivered is transferred to the wheel even faster. |
The pre-mounted tubeless rim tape makes the wheels tubeless in a flash, increasing comfort, lowering rolling resistance and increasing puncture resistance. |
Scope wheels are developed in the Netherlands in cooperation with Schwalbe, SKF, TU Eindhoven and TU Delft, so high quality is guaranteed. |
All-round climbing wheels with 38 mm high rims. Carbon wheelset for rim brakes, weighing in at a mere 1533 mm. |
The rims are 28 mm wide for extra comfort, an aerodynamic advantage and a stable feeling when cycling in windy conditions. |
Strong, durable Pilar straight-pull spokes with an immediate power transfer and a reduced chance of spokes breaking. |
This set uses semi-ceramic bearings for a low rolling resistance and a maximum power gain. |
The internal 17 mm rim width is compatible with tyres between 23 and 33 mm wide. |
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 a risk of blowouts or rim deformation. |
No wheel bags or brake discs are included when buying a wheelset. |
A body for Sram XDR, Campagnolo or Campagnolo N3W is available separately. |
The 17 mm internal rim width lags behind the trends somewhat, but you can still fit 23 mm tyres on these wheels. |
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. |
