Orbea’s Oquo brand launches its first road and gravel wheel range using ‘mini hook’ system

Check out the first road/gravel wheels from Orbea's Oquo brand – featuring a 'mini hook’ design that's intended to hold tyres securely while improving aerodynamics cycling

Orbea’s Oquo brand has unveiled its first road wheels which are aimed at both high-performance and gravel/endurance riding and use a ‘mini hook’ system that’s intended to increase tyre security while maximising aerodynamic efficiency.and it has now added two road lineups: Road Performance, which is focused on weight and aerodynamics, and Road Control, aimed at gravel and endurance “with a focus on comfort on rougher surfaces".

“This allows riders the choice of wider, more comfortable tyres with lower rolling resistance or, for the climbers, narrower tyres for the lightest overall system weight,” says Oquo.On its Road Control tyres, Oquo focuses on rough roads or gravel riding and goes for a wider 25mm internal width.Oquo recommends tyre widths from 32mm to 50mm here.

Oquo says the use of the mini hook allows you to use higher tyre pressures – up to 6.5 bar/95 psi with a tubeless system compared with 5 bar/72 psi for a hookless system. Oquo offers its Road Performance wheels in three different profiles. The 57mm rim depth “maximises aerodynamics, adding efficiency at high speeds” and is intended for time trial and aero road bikes.

Slightly confusingly, though, that rule goes out the window when it comes to the Road Control wheels. Here the number refers to the rim’s inner width – so the RC25Team , for example, has a rim height of 30mm, just to keep you on your toes.
