Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- Extremely low weight of 1487 grams, making the R3.A wheels perfect for the hills and mountains.
- Thanks to the Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics technology, the rim has been 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.
- No wheel bags or brake discs are included when buying a wheelset.
- A body for Sram XDR, Campagnolo or Campagnolo N3W is available separately.

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.
Technology
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.
Delivery includes
• Scope R3 Disc wheelset• Tubeless rim tape (pre-installed)
• Tubeless valves (pre-installed)
• 10 speed cassette spacer
• Warranty registration card
Assembly
• 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.
User tips
• 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

Hugely happy with the purchase
Ordered the R3 Disc wheels and used the '30-day 'not good - money back' guarantee' to test the wheels in different places and conditions. Cycled over the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, gravel paths and especially flat land with lots of (side) wind. This still required converting the tyres, brake discs and cassette, but this went off without a hitch. From the very first moment, you immediately experience the difference compared to the standard wheels; With the R3, the bike steers much tighter and you are up to speed in no time. The wheels roll nicely. There is no side wind and (in combination with the 30mm Continental GP5000 STR) they give you a lot of comfort, whatever the surface. It's a pleasure to cycle with and great wheels for climbing as well. Hugely happy with the purchase.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
High-quality climbing wheels, which also perform superbly on poor road surfaces.
These wheels are sleek and comfortable. They also run super light. The downside is that they become a bit wind sensitive when descending at high speed. This is the previous version (recognisable by 3 decals instead of 2).
