AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE, PROVEN CARBON TECHNOLOGY AND HAND-BUILT PRECISION.
The Scope S5 Disc Brake Carbon Wheelset combines a 55mm deep carbon rim profile with proven aerodynamic technology, responsive handling and reliable performance. Developed in the Netherlands and hand-built to Scope's exacting standards, the S5 delivers the performance benefits of deep-section carbon wheels in a versatile, durable package.
Part of Scope's Sport Series, the S5 incorporates technologies developed for previous generations of Scope's high-performance carbon wheels, including its proprietary tubeless system, Local Reinforcement carbon construction and custom bearings.
Featuring a SRAM XDR freehub and understated black decals, this wheelset offers a clean, stealth-inspired aesthetic for modern disc brake road bikes.
KEY FEATURES
55mm Deep Carbon Rims
The 55mm deep carbon rim profile is designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency, helping riders maintain speed on flat roads, rolling terrain and fast descents. The deep-section design balances aerodynamic performance with the stiffness required for responsive power transfer.
Proven Sport Series Technology
The S5 benefits from technologies developed for Scope's previous-generation carbon wheels. Sharing key construction principles with the Race Series, the Sport Series delivers a balance of aerodynamics, stiffness and durability.
Scope Tubeless System
Scope's proprietary tubeless rim geometry is engineered for straightforward tyre installation, direct inflation and reliable pressure retention. The system supports tubeless setups while remaining compatible with conventional clincher tyres and inner tubes.
Local Reinforcement Carbon Technology
Scope's Local Reinforcement carbon construction strategically increases the number of carbon layers around the spoke holes on the inside of the rim. This approach reduces unnecessary material while maintaining strength and stiffness in critical areas.
Scope S-Series Hubs
The Scope S-Series hubs feature a proven 3-pawl engagement system and custom bearings for dependable performance. The wheelset is equipped with a SRAM XDR freehub for compatibility with appropriate SRAM XDR cassettes.
Sapim CX Leader Aero Spokes
Hand-built using Sapim CX Leader Aero spokes, the S5 combines aerodynamic spoke profiles with reliable strength and durability.
Disc Brake Compatibility
Designed for modern disc brake road bikes, the S5 features Center Lock rotor interfaces and 12mm thru-axle compatibility for secure installation and consistent braking performance.
Understated Black Decals
Black Scope decals complement the carbon rim finish, creating a discreet, premium appearance that integrates seamlessly with a wide range of road bike designs.
WHY TO CHOOSE THE SCOPE S5
The Scope S5 brings proven carbon wheel technology into a performance-focused package designed for riders seeking aerodynamic efficiency without moving to Scope's premium Race Series.
While the Race Series incorporates newer aerodynamic rim profiles, lighter hub systems and premium Sapim CX-Ray or Sprint spokes, the Sport Series retains established technologies that have demonstrated their performance and reliability.
Both ranges share Scope's commitment to hand-built construction, proprietary tubeless technology, Local Reinforcement carbon lay-up and high-quality bearings.
With its 55mm rim depth, the S5 is particularly appealing to riders looking to improve aerodynamic performance while retaining the versatility required for everyday road riding and training.
PERFECT FOR
Road cyclists looking to upgrade to deep-section carbon wheels for improved aerodynamic efficiency, fast-paced group rides, road racing, training and long-distance riding.
The S5 is particularly well suited to riders who value proven technology, reliable construction and understated styling.
TECHNOLOGY
Scope Tubeless System
Scope's proprietary rim geometry is designed to simplify tubeless tyre installation, allow direct inflation and maintain tyre pressure over extended periods. The system also accommodates conventional clincher tyres with inner tubes.
Local Reinforcement Carbon Lay-Up
Additional carbon layers are positioned specifically around the spoke holes rather than throughout the entire rim. This targeted reinforcement maintains structural strength and stiffness while minimising unnecessary weight.
Hand-Built Construction
Like Scope's premium Race Series, every Sport Series wheelset is hand-built to meet the brand's quality standards, with an emphasis on consistent performance, durability and reliability.
Custom Bearings
Scope's custom bearing system is designed to provide smooth rotation and dependable long-term performance.
