Scope Artech 2 Wheelset (3D‑Printed Hubs)
The Scope Artech 2 Wheelset is engineered for riders who prioritise one thing above all else on steep climbs: low weight without compromising stiffness or durability. With a claimed total wheelset weight of 965 g, Artech 2 is built to deliver rapid acceleration on gradients, snappy changes in pace, and a precise feel when you’re out of the saddle. It’s a premium upgrade for hill‑heavy routes, uphill racing, and performance road builds where every gram matters.
Designed in The Netherlands and produced using advanced manufacturing, Artech 2 blends a modern wide rim profile with a fully hooked, tubeless‑ready tyre bed. The 23 mm internal width is optimised around 28 mm tyres, helping you hit the sweet spot between rolling speed, comfort, and cornering confidence on real‑world Australian road surfaces. The rim profile is shaped using Scope’s aerodynamic optimisation approach, while a textured rim surface is intended to stabilise airflow and reduce drag—useful when climbs open into windy ridgelines or fast descents.
At the centre of the system is Scope’s standout feature: lightweight 3D‑printed hubs made from Scalmalloy using topology optimisation to remove unnecessary material while keeping strength where it counts. The rear hub uses a 36T Diamond Ratchet SL engagement system made from titanium with a diamond‑like carbon finish for direct pickup and long‑term durability. Carbonlite Aerospokes complete the package, delivering high lateral stiffness and a spoke profile designed to minimise aerodynamic losses without dulling ride feel.
Artech 2 ships ready to run tubeless, with valves and rim tape pre‑installed, and includes tools and accessories to support workshop‑level serviceability—ideal for riders upgrading via a Brisbane bike shop or booking a professional wheel setup and tubeless install.
