Syncros Wheels

Syncros is the components and accessories brand of Scott Sports, designing products from the inside out — built specifically for Scott bikes but available as standalone upgrades across the market. The Capital SL Aero 60mm Disc is Syncros’ flagship road wheelset: a one-piece carbon construction where rim, spokes, and hub shell are laid up together in a single mold, resulting in a structure that’s lighter and more aerodynamically efficient than a conventionally assembled wheel. At a claimed 1,290g and 60mm deep, the Capital SL Aero delivers real aero gains without becoming unmanageable in crosswinds.

Hookless rims, DT Swiss 240 EXP internals, and asymmetric front-rear dimensions — the front optimized for aerodynamics, the rear for power transfer — make this a wheelset engineered for speed across road and gravel terrain.

About Syncros Wheels

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.
