Gen 2 Road Wheels Are Here!

About Our Elite Series Wheels:

Optimized without compromise.  With our Elite Series wheels, no stone has been left unturned.  High modulus Toray carbon fiber with optimized layup strategies capitalize on our new rim profiles.  DT Swiss hubs, Sapim CX Ray spokes, and secure-lock brass nipples offer all of the performance, reliability, and serviceability you could ask for.  A beautiful rim finish and the hand-built build quality are the icing on the cake.        

Description:

Built to optimize the performance of your road bike.  These 35mm deep road wheels are designed for riders who spend a lot of time climbing and descending, stopping and going, or simply prefer a shallow wheel for maximum stability.   The 35mm front and rear rim depth climb and descend equally well and feel stable on everyday rides, no matter the gradient.  With our Gen 2 road rims, we've opened up the internal rim width to 24mm, optimizing for 28-30c tubeless-ready and clincher tires.  Bringing the internal width to 24mm provides all of the benefits of a wide modern road rim (lower rolling resistance, improved aerodynamics, and increased comfort with larger volume tires), while being more in line with the ETRTO standards compared to the 25mm hookless rims that other brands are advertising to be compatible with 28c tires.  The hooked bead on our rims is safer than hookless in certain situations and provides more tire options for riders.  Please find all of the tech specs for this wheelset listed in the second photo.  

Product Details:

Carbon Rims:  Aerospace-grade Toray carbon fiber is utilized to manufacture extremely high-quality rims. These rims are produced very consistently and require very little post processing after coming out of the autoclave and being released from the mold.  We don't cover the carbon with an opaque layer of paint like some other brands do (they will typically do this to cover blemishes in the carbon and produce lower cost rims).  The finish of our rims is very similar to that of an ENVE SES rim.  

Hubs:  DT Swiss hubs are chosen for their balance of reliability, serviceability, and performance.  DT Swiss 350 hubs are an everyday workhorse and a great bang for your buck.  DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs are next level performance and help reduce the weight of the wheelset.  DT Swiss 180 hubs come in a slick black colorset and feature SINC ceramic bearings for those looking to maximize their marginal gains.  

Spokes:  Sapim CX Ray bladed spokes are chosen for their supreme performance characteristics and reliability. Although these are some of the most expensive spokes on the market, they are also among the most fatigue resistant. As a spoke undergoes hundreds of thousands of fatigue cycles, this is a significant factor. The bladed design provides significant aerodynamic benefits over traditional round spokes and an unmatched ride quality due to the anisotropic properties.

Nipples:  While many wheel brands choose anodized aluminum nipples for their weight, we opted for black-oxide coated brass nipples to maximize corrosion resistance and reliability. While the anodized coating on aluminum nipples acts as a shield against corrosion, not all nipples will be anodized perfectly in large batches. Additionally, if the anodized coating is partially removed during the wheel building process due to friction, and bare aluminum is exposed, galvanic corrosion can attack the aluminum nipple and cause failure. Brass is more similar to stainless steel and carbon on the anodic index, in comparison to aluminum, meaning that corrosion will be much less likely to occur, and occur at a slower rate. This is especially important in coastal areas with salty air.  

Tubeless Tape:  When setting up your tires tubeless, the tape on the rims can make or break the your experience.  Given this, we knew that we needed a rock-solid tape for our rims that you can count on.  When creating our tubeless tape, we experimented with over 10 different materials in combination with multiple adhesives to create what we believe is the best tubeless tape on the market. 

Presta Valves:  Our premium presta valves are precision machined from aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum, one of the strongest aluminum alloys on the market.  These valves are designed to maximize reliability and aesthetics.

Decals:  Ultra-thin, ultra-durable.  Our long-lasting decals are designed to handle the elements and won't peel off from being hit with rocks or tire levers like decals from other brands would.

Additional Information:

All of our wheels are proudly hand-built and come tubeless ready with our tape and valves installed.  Centerlock disc lockrings are not included with the wheelset, but may be purchased separately.  Thru-axles are not included as they are considered part of the frameset for a bike.  

Our products are designed and built to last, with serviceability in mind.  This is the way it should be.  You can be sure that you'll be riding top quality wheels that you can count on.  The expectations are high at Scalar Wheels and if we aren't happy with a product, or wouldn't ride on it ourselves, we won't sell it.  Rims go through testing above industry standards and we have a multi-point inspection process throughout the wheel-build to ensure we are producing reliable products.

Superb wheels!

Got a set of these as climbing wheels for a new custom titanium build. I have about 600 miles on them and they are fantastic. Nice 25mm internal width has me running 65psi with 28mm tires, which is nice and comfy. They are good and stiff, the 30mm deep section is great for climbing, they descend great and handle cross winds wonderfully, as one would expect. They are every bit as good as the high-end wheels from the major brands and very competitive on price and weight.

Customer service was great, wheels got made pretty fast, and shipping was super easy.

Scalar is going to be my first choice whenever I am in the market for another set of wheels. Cannot say enough good stuff about em!

Everything I wanted in a wheel!

Love these wheels! I got my custom Holland carbon bike and wanted perfect wheels for my perfect bike. I got everything I wanted; hooked rims, low profile, light weight and silver spokes. They ride beautifully and look great too!
