The only let down on this bike for the price is the wheels. Heavy and for me- they do not ride well. Not bad and they are better than the Formula hubs and Alex rims on some of some of the lower models.

The brakes are not a problem on efficiency and "Can" be changed for something better later- if required. Wheels though- look on them as something to be upgraded and then they can be used as foul weather wheels.

The OCR Carbon is the same frame throughout the range and rides well. Good bike for a good price.

Saying that the wheels are not good- They are not that bad- just not as good as I would like them but that goes for a lot of wheels. And My OM wheels are back on the OCR as that is the foul weather bike now.
