Built on the Artech 8.T front wheel

Scope derives this wheel from its Artech 8.T front wheel, which it says has been chosen by Ironman champions and UCI WorldTour teams. The Race version uses the same proven rim profile without the Artech's Aeroscales.

Race Series technology

Scope shapes its rims with Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics (AEA) and uses Local Reinforcement, adding carbon layers only around the spoke holes, to cut weight while keeping strength and stiffness. The Scope Tubeless System is designed for easy mounting, direct inflation and long-lasting pressure.

Pair it with the Race Disc

Scope designed the R8.T front to pair with its Race Disc rear wheel for time trial and triathlon set-ups.

Compatibility & fit

Front wheel only. Disc brake with Centerlock rotor mount and a 12 x 100mm thru-axle. The hooked rim takes tubeless and clincher tyres; Scope's optimum tyre width is 28mm and maximum pressure is 8.6 bar / 125 psi. Wheel fitting, tyre installation and set-up are separate Tune Cycles workshop services and are not included.
