PRODUCT DETAILS
Featuring aerodynamically sculpted Alpina UD Carbon Spokes, advanced carbon lay-up, and hand-built assembly process, at 1,050g, the Élan Ultra 4 represents the lightest expression of our Ultra Range's philosophy to date.
Engineered for the climbing specialist, the Élan Ultra 4 is precision-engineered for those who demand more from every ascent. By slashing rotational weight to enable explosive acceleration and elite climbing efficiency, it maintains the uncompromising stiffness and stability required for a modern, high-performance ride.
SPECIFICATION
The Élan Ultra 4's wide internal 25mm profile lets you run wider tyres for greater cornering stability and faster rolling, especially when tubeless. Centrelock disc comes as standard.

Why do Ultra Wheelsets cost more?

Where are Scribe Wheels built?
ALL wheels under the Scribe domain are 100% hand-built by our master wheel technicians directly from our operations in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
We work with the best cycling manufactuers across the globe in the pursuit of offering our riders the fastest wheels possible with exceptional QC standards. As such, our supply chain is extremely unique. The carbon-fibre & bearings comes from Japan, the grease comes from Germany, and our hubs come from Taiwan.
We never hold back.
How do I quieten my Scribe Wheels?
Most love the buzz but while we understand our hub designs may be slightly noisier than others. This is actually recognised as a sign of positive engagement. However, everyone within the Scribe Collective is different. So, if you're interested in dampening our freehub buzz, the tone can be muted by applying some of our exclusive MV1 Ratchet Grease
