In 2013, with a passion for innovation I founded Scorpion Bike Wheels. My mission was to bring handcrafted European bicycle products and specialty components to my cycling community. My goal is to offer to the consumer, classic legendary brands from the best European artisans by searching for the best dollar/value and the ability to customize and build high-end bicycles and wheels. |
Scorpion Bike Wheels, building the brand
With a strong 20 years back ground in product R&D teamed up with other like-minded souls, in search for a wheel product that could perform equal or better then the big names minus the big price. We can customize our wheels with a variety of spokes, rims, hubs and lacing pattern to fit the rider performance and style. Off the shelf big names can't offer this personal service so, our mission begin on the idea of wheels for racers from racers, able to supply the best the industry has to offer, at prices that a weekend warrior can afford.
We tested and looked at all major factors of wheel building taking in consideration the new trends and what works in the real word, and our goal was set:

We tested and looked at all major factors of wheel building taking in consideration the new trends and what works in the real word, and our goal was set:
- A wheel-set stiff enough to bring up to speed, and stand up to the treacherous roads of New England .
- Put a sting on the competition but not on your wallet
- Selection of parts, Hubs, Spokes, nipples, rims that perform equal or better when compared to other wheels on the market
- Customize the performance to the rider needs.
In 2015 with help from a composite Engineering we got a patented resin 240c and a new rim technology using (Auto Filament Wound) AFW . This rim has three layers of carbon crossing over the spoke nipple hugging the rim edge for stiffness and strength.
Now you can find this same rim at HUNT wheels UK and Winspace ASIA, tested as one of the best rims on the market. Featured at GCN Show
To keep our quality control in check we build with tight tolerances and a stress test is performed on every wheel. Our wheels are hand crafted, in my own facility in New England and we pay close attention to spoke tension, tight true tolerances (.02 mm lateral /.05 radial / <1mm dish) and lacing pattern to deliver performance and durability.
Digital tension meter and sound tune is used to assure proper tension.
