Everything you need to know about the Scope Artech 4
How the component works, which specifications matter and what to watch for when choosing. From the basics to the details real bike nerds care about.
Total set weight1120 g
Lower weight helps on climbs and repeated accelerations. For flat rides, commuting and carrying loads, comfort, durability and aerodynamics often matter more than a few grams. Frame, wheelset and complete-bike weights are not directly comparable.
Rim height45 mm front/rear
Deeper rims can help on fast, flat rides but react more to crosswinds. Shallower rims often suit lighter riders, climbing and variable winds. Mid-depth is an all-round compromise; depth alone does not determine speed.
Internal/external rim width23 mm / 31 mm
Internal width affects tyre shape and mounted width. More support can suit wider gravel tyres; a narrow road tyre does not automatically fit a wide rim. External width affects aerodynamics. Always check the approved tyre/rim pairing.
Tyre compatibility28-65 mm, hooked, tubeless-ready, optimum 28 mm
A supple, lightly treaded tyre suits fast tarmac miles; loose terrain needs more grip and volume. Tubeless or hookless labels are compatibility requirements, not styling choices. Width, model, pressure and frame clearance must all agree.
Max tyre pressure8.6 bar / 125 psi
The value "8.6 bar / 125 psi" is not a recommendation to inflate your tire this hard. You use the lowest applicable limit of the rim and the exact tire model. Using an inner tube does not increase the permitted pressure of a hookless combination.
Spokes18F/24R Carbonlite Aerospoke
Spoke material, count and construction affect stiffness, weight and servicing. Low weight may matter in racing; rough routes and everyday use also demand durability and repairability. Spoke count alone is not a quality measure.
Axle12x100 front, 12x142 rear, Centerlock
Axle diameter, spacing and wheel size must match frame and fork. This is not a free performance choice. Upgrades need approved interfaces; cargo wheel sizes cannot simply be replaced by road wheels.

What is the Scope Artech 4?
Flagship road wheelset, 45 mm rim height, 1120 g set weight, 23 mm internal width (hooked), optimised for 28 mm tyres, Aeroscales surface technology, Carbonlite Aerospokes.
Manufacturer informationWhat does tyre compatibility mean on the Scope Artech 4?
Tyre compatibility: 28-65 mm, hooked, tubeless-ready, optimum 28 mm. A supple, lightly treaded tyre suits fast tarmac miles; loose terrain needs more grip and volume. Tubeless or hookless labels are compatibility requirements, not styling choices. Width, model, pressure and frame clearance must all agree.
Schwalbe: ETRTO band-velgcombinatiesWhat does internal/external rim width mean on the Scope Artech 4?
Internal/external rim width: 23 mm / 31 mm. Internal width affects tyre shape and mounted width. More support can suit wider gravel tyres; a narrow road tyre does not automatically fit a wide rim. External width affects aerodynamics. Always check the approved tyre/rim pairing.
Schwalbe: ETRTO band-velgcombinatiesWhat should I check before fitting the Scope Artech 4?
Check axle dimensions, rotor mounting and cassette driver on your bike. The approved tyre-rim combination and frame clearance must also match. A matching brand name alone is not enough.
