Description:
01 / ROAD INTENT
A bigger commitment to aero road speed
The choice between R4 and R6 is largely about where you ride and the way you race. R6 is meant for cyclists who spend substantial time at speed—flat and rolling road races, solo efforts and fast road events—yet want a complete conventional spoked carbon wheelset rather than a dedicated TT wheel.
03 / RACE DEVELOPMENT
The details behind race-day speed.
The following systems are part of the Race wheel engineering described by Scope. Product-specific hardware, fit and limits are detailed in the technical reference below.
RACE RIM AERODYNAMICS
Scope uses aerodynamic profiles derived from Artech development but without the Artech Aeroscales outer surface.
SAPIM CX-RAY SPOKES
The Race system uses conventional steel aero spokes rather than the flagship Artech carbon spokes.
HUB LABYRINTH
Mechanical labyrinth sealing is designed to help shield the hub against dirt and improve long-term durability.
THE SCOPE RANGE / THREE DISTINCT APPROACHES
Find your place in the Scope family.
Sport, Race and Artech share Scope's focus on carbon wheel performance. The difference is in the construction, technology and application; always compare the exact models and compatibility before choosing.

Fit & function / Important decisions
Know what you're buying.
This listing is for a front and rear wheel. Select the correct cassette/freehub configuration above.
Scope identifies a hooked tubeless-ready tire bed; check the specific tire manufacturer’s rim-width approvals.
Confirm axle interface, tire clearance and the selected variant before ordering.
Configuration / Exactly the right version
Select the correct factory build.
The variant selector determines which Scope manufacturer SKU and barcode you order. Choose options appropriate to your bike; if a variant is unavailable, contact Brimstone before substituting another freehub or braking configuration.

Scope wheelset / Compatibility answers
Frequently asked questions about Scope R6
Should I choose Scope R6 or R4?
R6 is 65 mm deep and more aero-depth focused; R4 is 45 mm deep and positioned for broader road conditions. Both use hooked 23 mm internal rims optimized for 28 mm tires.
What is included in the Scope R6 listing?
Complete front-and-rear wheelset. Tires, cassettes, rotors and accessories are included only if specifically listed in the Scope package details.
What does the Scope R6 weigh?
Scope publishes 1,525 g as its wheel weight. It is not a shipping-package weight, and actual manufactured weights can vary.
Which tire should I use with the Scope R6?
Scope identifies a 23 mm internal rim and 28 mm optimum tire width. The tire manufacturer must approve the tire on this particular rim width and bead system, and the frame must provide adequate clearance.
Will it fit my bike?
Check the axle standard, brake interface, tire clearance, and any rear cassette/freehub compatibility. A wheel-model name is not enough to establish drivetrain compatibility.
Can Brimstone help confirm compatibility?
Yes. Brimstone Bicycles can help you check rim/tire approval, axle type and—when applicable—the correct freehub body before you order.
