The increased acceleration offered by full-powered e-bikes puts a lot of strain on hubs and spokes.

Our e-bike-specific wheelset uses DT Swiss´s Hybrid hub, which uses reinforced bearings and a steel freehub body to offer maximum reliability. Adding thicker spokes and our extremely resilient MC32 rims means that this wheelset is more than a match for the most extreme e-adventures.

Core technologies

FRONT AND REAR SPECIFIC

Each wheel has a different job to do and experiences different forces. OQUO wheels use front and rear specific designs, that means considering rim profiles, spokes and build specifications carefully to maximise performance. It is more work but the benifits are clear.

ALUMINIUM PINCH PROTECTION

Pinch punctures happen when the tire is pinched between an external object and the edge of the rim. Our updated rim design increases the size of the critical bead area by 50%, distributing impacts and, in combination with a rounded edge profile, offering superior resistance to pinch punctures.

ASYMMETRIC RIMS

Asymmetric rims allow us to make a more triangular shape with the spokes from each side of the rim, balancing the spoke lengths and tensions. This means each spoke takes an equal amount of strain. In short, asymmetric rims mean fewer spoke sizes, more balanced tensions, and stronger, more reliable wheels.

ANGLED SPOKE HOLES

Matching the angle of the spoke hole to the angle that the spoke leaves the rim at means that we can greatly reduce the stress at the spoke head. Implementing this technology requires added design and manufacturing work but the result is a far more reliable wheel with less chance of breaking spokes.

REINFORCED SPOKE BEDS

There is more stress on a rim where the spokes exert tension. Reinforcing these areas increases the reliability of the rim without adding excessive weight.

J-BEND SPOKES MC

J-Bend spokes offer increased reliability and resistance to fatigue for aggressive gravity riding.

MINI HOOK MC

This design increases the security of the tyre mounting, allowing lower tyre pressures even under extreme cornering loads.

SECURE NIPPLE LOCK

We apply a custom threadlock liquid to each nipple individually. This liquid creates increased friction between the threaded part of the spoke and the nipple, eliminating the air between them, ensuring that the spokes don't lose tension, whilst allowing adjustments if needed.
