In a category like XC every gram counts. Designing our own hubs and rims to work together means we can create stronger, lighter designs.
Technologies
OQUO DT Swiss Inside Hub
DT SWISS INSIDE
Our hubs use DT internals with the 36-tooth ratchet system and upsized bearings, which have proven to offer the best reliability and performance.
T-SHAPED SPOKE HEADS
Creating our own hubs allows us to implement new technologies, such as T-shaped spoke heads. This prevents spokes from twisting and loosening, resulting in a more reliable wheel.
BALANCING SPOKES
Designing the hub to balance spoke lengths and angles, shares the forces more equally between all the spokes, giving a stronger wheel.
Designing hubs and rims together allows us to create a complete wheelset which works together, maximising performance, in addition to being able to create more aesthetically pleasing wheelsets. Using precise CNC machining processes lets us control the material precisely, eliminating any material which isn’t needed. In this way we achieve the strongest hub for the toughest trails.
