Long missing from our line of wheels was a light weight climbing wheel set. In mid 2007 we began development of the Scropio and by the time we were finished what we had was an all around - do anything wheelset that also happened to be pretty exceptional at climbing also.$35 for the pair. ide quality, durability and lightweight were the final issues to tackle and we didn't disappoint. Similar to our Stinger line of wheels we use three different types of carbon in the construction of the rim. By being very specific about the direction and thickness of the carbon in certain areas we are able to produce a rim that provides and elegant balancing act. As a result the Scorpio is built to be ridden hard because it can handle it. For that matter, you'll want to because of the exceptional ride that it delivers. In short if you want a wheel that is stiff enough to resist hard out of the saddle accelerations and sprints the Scorpio is for you. If you want a wheel strong enough to take seasons worth of racing, the Scorpio is for you. If you want a wheel that ascends like a helium balloon then the Scropio is for you. If you want a better than average aero wheel then the Scropio is for you. To sum it all up, the Scropio is such a good all around performer we are hard pressed to find someone that they aren't right for. Weights in grams Front: 489 Rear: 668 Total: 1157
