The R4 embodies the perfect balance between aerodynamic efficiency and climbing capability. By adopting the proven rim profiles of the Artech series without the Aeroscales, the R4 delivers best-in-class benchmark-tested aerodynamic performance. With steel spokes and a remarkably low total set weight of just 1349 grams, this wheelset excels as the ultimate all-round and climbing companion, built to perform across all terrain types and racing scenarios.
The rim construction features a 45mm profile height on both front and rear wheels, providing optimal aerodynamic advantage without excessive weight penalty. The rims measure 31mm in external width paired with a 23mm internal width, featuring a hooked tire bed design that provides secure tire retention and compatibility. This geometry is aerodynamically optimized for 28mm tires, which represent the optimum width for achieving the perfect balance of rolling resistance, efficiency, and comfort. The wheelset accommodates a versatile tire width compatibility range from 28mm to 65mm, making it suitable for various riding conditions and tire preferences. Both front and rear rims are fully tubeless ready, compatible with both tubeless and clincher tires, and support a maximum tire pressure of 8.6 bar (125 psi) with no rider weight limit.
Beyond its exceptional low weight and aerodynamic advantage, the R4 combines exceptional lateral stiffness with uncompromising durability. The unique geometry of the Scope Tubeless System ensures easy tire mounting, direct inflation, long-lasting pressure retention, and universal compatibility with all clincher and tubeless tires. This system eliminates the frustrations commonly associated with tubeless setup while delivering all the performance benefits of lower rolling resistance and improved puncture protection.
At the heart of the R4 are precision-engineered Scope R-Series hubs on both front and rear wheels, featuring advanced bearing configurations for optimal performance and durability. The front hub utilizes two SKF 61803 bearings within a 12x100mm axle system, while the rear hub employs a more robust configuration with three SKF 61803 bearings and one SKF 61903 bearing in a 12x142mm axle system. The rear hub incorporates the lightweight 36T Diamond Ratchet SL engagement system, constructed from titanium and finished with a diamond-like carbon coating that delivers direct engagement, improved durability, and significant weight reduction. Both hubs feature Centerlock brake interfaces for secure disc brake rotor mounting.
A key innovation in the R-Series is the mechanical labyrinth system integrated into the hubs, effectively blocking dirt from entering and increasing long-term durability. This advanced sealing technology protects the internal components from contamination, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging weather conditions and extending the service life of the wheelset.
The spoke architecture employs a carefully calculated lacing pattern with 21 premium Sapim CX-Ray spokes in the front wheel and 24 in the rear wheel. These high-performance spokes provide exceptional lateral stiffness that translates to increased efficiency during acceleration and climbing, while their aerodynamic profile minimizes drag. The spoke design works in conjunction with the Local Reinforcement carbon technology, which strategically increases the number of carbon layers around the spoke holes on the inside of the rim to maintain structural integrity while significantly reducing overall weight and preserving strength and stiffness.
The shape of the R4 rims is defined by Algorithm Enhanced Aerodynamics (AEA) technology. This sophisticated algorithm optimizes the most aerodynamic rim profile, guaranteeing optimal aerodynamic performance across a wide range of yaw angles and riding speeds. The proven rim profiles deliver consistent aerodynamic advantages whether riding in calm conditions or crosswinds.
R6 - THE ULTIMATE AERO WHEELSET
The R6 represents the pinnacle of aerodynamic performance in the R-Series lineup.
