About Us

​In 2013, Anthony Branco found Scorpion BIke Wheels and set out on a mission to bring a nostalgic handcrafted family tradition, this time with a passion for innovation in cycling products.
The goal is to offer to the consumer, classic legendary brands from the best European artesians. Searching for the best for dollar/value and the ability to customize a high end product, not mass production.
Tony earn the name "fanatic" among his pears due to his never satisfied and always tweaking what ever he puts his hands on looking for perfection.

​Honesty - Wisdon - Integrity

Scorpion Bike Wheels, building the brand
Tony Branco 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:
  1. A wheel-set  easy to bring up to speed, and stand up to the treacherous roads of New England . 
  2. Put a sting on the competition but not on your wallet
  3. Choice of premium selection of parts, Hubs, Spokes and perform equal or better when compared to the ocean of products on the market
  4. Tailor the performance to the rider needs.
We decided on  Sapin spokes made in Belgium. Sapin, is the choice of pro peloton and  top dollar wheels on the market today. We out source our line of hubs, with patented design 6 pawls of engagement, Enduro ABEC5 sealed bearings  assures quick response and fast smooth spinning and easy to maintain. 
For the more selective rider we made available  a selection of top brand hubs from
White industries, Hope and Velocity, these hubs are available in a variety of colors great value, performance and some bling for your ride. (you may not go any faster but will look great)
​With help from a composite Engineering source we got a patented carbon epoxy 240c and a new rim technology using (Auto Filament Wrapping) AFW system similar to the one used by one of the top brands on the market.

To top it off you needed to keep our quality control in check so, for a good wheel build tight tolerances are a must.
Our wheels are hand crafted, in the US 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. DT Swiss digital tension meter and sound tune is used to assure proper equal tension.
