"Until the advent of Artech, Scope's R-series were their top-tier race-ready wheels across all disciplines. Now the R-series gets a major overhaul, adopting a lot of the aerodynamics and high-performance lightweight tech, but at less than 1/2 the price. Sure, you don't get biomimicry fish-scale aerodynamic rim textures or 3D-printed scandium alloy hubs. But you do get the same aero rim shapes, top-tier carbon construction, premium wheelbuilds, and impressive light weights at a more attainable price."
"The R-series is smooth, but keeps the same wind tunnel-proven "Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics" 2.0 aero shapes. Scope sticks with their claim that the 'Aeroscales' exclusive to the A-series still provide "a significant reduction in drag at yaw angles both above and below 10 degrees". But their latest Silverstone wind tunnel tests show that the simpler R-series also outperforms a lot of the heavy-hitter competition available in the market."
Scope overhauled the R-series to incorporate Artech-derived aerodynamics and lightweight technologies while keeping a substantially lower price point. The R-series retains wind-tunnel proven "Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics" 2.0 rim shapes but omits the Artech's fish-scale Aeroscales and 3D-printed scandium hubs. The new lineup spans road, all-road, gravel, and triathlon applications, offering top-tier carbon construction, premium wheelbuilds, and light weights for under two grand. Silverstone wind tunnel tests indicate the smoother R-series outperforms many higher-priced competitors. The Artech models remain a premium option at roughly $4,400 per pair.
