Since its launch in 2019, Scribe has crafted a range of wheels that balance performance with price. I've always been a fan of the Northern Irish brand's portfolio as it caters to practically all disciplines. I recently tested both the Tempus Disc/100 wheelset and the Élan SL 50+ wheelset and came away thoroughly impressed by both models, in terms of performance, value and what they bring to the best road bike wheels segment.
Scribe has been making headlines recently with its wind-tunnel testing data, with some lofty claims pertaining to its Tempus TT wheels. Now, the new Élan Ultras are said to be among the fastest UCI-compliant wheelsets on the market, with a total system weight of just 1,289g for the 65mm model and 1,100g for the 50mm model. Alongside the Élan Ultras, Scribe is also launching a more affordable Ultra Core range with aero steel spokes but the same profiles and rim architecture.
