Scribe launched the Tempus wheelset with some bold claims around aerodynamics, stating its new time trial wheels are the "fastest bike wheels on the planet." The Northern-Irish brand has been making waves in the industry since opening its doors in 2019, offering cyclists impressive wheels at more palatable price points through its direct-to-consumer sales model. Having catered to most of the cycling demographic with myriad options spanning the best road bike wheels segment, Scribe has leaped into the triathlon and time trial space with Tempus wheels in 2025 and finds itself going head-to-head against some very established rivals.
As a cyclist who spends a lot of time on my time trial bike, I naturally take my equipment very seriously and am always looking at ways to shave off time and go faster over the 10- and 25-mile distances. Of the many ways to go faster, I've found that wheel and tyre choice can account for a significant saving in the watt department, especially if you fit the very best road tyres. So when Scribe launched the Tempus range, I was pretty excited to put the company's claims to the test.
