Considering Orome Valar Wheelsets

While Orome Valar wheelsets may not be the most established brand on the market, they present an interesting option for cyclists seeking high-performance carbon wheels at a competitive price point.

Customers who have tried these wheels, like Tony are having a great experience:

The last set of wheels I rode had DT Swiss 350 hubs - the new wheels have DT Swiss 240/s there is a big difference in rolling capacity between the 2 hubs with the 240/s being far superior.

I weigh 78kg and noted no side movement when standing up to ride a climb which is great as in the past, wheels I have ridden rub on the brake pads which is frustrating.

I live in the Coromandel, and we have several long downhill roads and the wheels handle like a dream you can push them hard into corners and it feels safe, as above the hubs come into their own.

The wheels do not overheat under braking again another positive
Cross winds on the downhill and flat are not an issue with the wheel dept the wheels stay solid.

As per my comments on the climbing the wheels are stiff but not over the top where you feel every bump in the road, they do absorb the shock
Overall, I am very happy and would have no issues in purchasing another set when required.
