Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 6 categories
Well equipped for the money: every build has carbon OQUO wheels, a one-piece carbon cockpit and a storage box, and there's even a Campagnolo Record 13 option. Seven sizes with scaled cockpits and cranks help fit; the catches are a proprietary front end and seatpost, and no published weight or aero figures.
