Syncros started as an independent cycling components brand before being acquired by Scott Sports, where it now functions as the in-house components division. Scott’s engineers work alongside Syncros designers to develop products optimized for Scott bikes’ geometry and performance targets, though the components are available separately to any rider. The Capital SL Aero represents Syncros’ most ambitious wheel program: a one-piece carbon construction that integrates rim, spokes, and hub shell into a single molded unit. This eliminates the weak points inherent to conventional wheel assembly and allows the structural engineering to be optimized as a whole rather than as separate parts.

The 60mm front rim measures 32mm wide externally with a 23mm internal width; the rear runs 33.6mm wide with 25mm internal — asymmetric dimensions tuned for their individual aerodynamic and structural roles. Sixteen fused carbon spokes in a one-cross pattern provide the lateral stiffness needed to convert power efficiently in sprints and through corners. DT Swiss 240 EXP internals were chosen for their proven durability and low service requirements. The hookless rims are optimized for 30mm tires and wider, and the wheelset is gravel-capable. Syncros claims the Capital SL Aero is 7% faster than comparable wheels from DT Swiss, Campagnolo, and Zipp. Explore more at syncros.com.
