Description

The Tokyowheel™ Epic 88 offers end-game aerodynamics for those looking to go faster and farther. Best suited to triathletes, track or endurance riders. Tokyowheel™ Vapor road bike hubs eliminate internal friction - boosting riding efficiency and durability.

Feel confident when you apply brakes onto the DuraHeat-R™ High-Temperature Carbon braking surface. Not only does it stop you faster, with greater stability, but it's much more durable on brake heavy rides (like long descents). Ride fast, ride far with Tokyowheel™ Epic 88 carbon wheels.

EPIC 88mm Deep Carbon Rim.

Maximum Aerodynamics, Maximum Speed.

The Epic 88mm rim is the most aerodynamic rim we offer. Ideal for long flat rides, triathlons, and time trials. The Epic 88mm rim is a no-compromise wind-cheating machine.

Full Carbon Clincher.

High Strength Carbon for Lightweight Performance.

Using the latest carbon forming technology, we are able to build a very strong rim from carbon only. A critical area for durability, the tire bead hook of the EPIC clincher rim is up 73% stronger than other carbon clincher rims. This gives you a wheel that is very light, with positive braking performance, and reliable durability.

Extra Wide 27mm Rim

Increased Aerodynamics and Improved Handling.

The extra wide rim has multiple benefits. The rim's 27mm max width improves aerodynamics by creating a more uniform airflow over the wheel - balancing the aerodynamic forces of the rim with the leading edge of the tire. The 25mm width at the tire mount and braking surface spread the tire out, which creates a wider contact patch between the tire and the road (resulting in improved handling and reduced rolling resistance). The 25mm outer rim also allows the wheel to fit into most frame and brake setups.

Elliptic-Toroidal Rim.

Reduce Aerodynamic Drag.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Airflow Simulation

The Tokyowheel Elliptic-Toroidal rim shape reduces Aerodynamic drag by matching the spoke side of the rim to the round shape of a tire. This elliptical shape makes the leading edge and the trailing edge of the rim more symmetric. Our CFD aerodynamic simulations have validated that this Elliptic-Toroidal shape provides more uniform airflow, and reduced drag over the primary Yaw angles between 0 to 20 degrees.

Aero Braking Surface.

Less Drag and More Stability.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Airflow Simulation

The 3 degree angled Aero Braking Surface improves the overall aerodynamics of the wheel by: smoothing the interface between the tire and the rim, reducing net drag on the rim in crosswinds, and adding to the elliptical symmetry of the wheel.

2-Way Clincher Tubeless.

Tubes or No-Tubes - You Choose.

Use either traditional tires with tubes, or tubeless tires without tubes. Tubeless tires can provide lower rolling resistance and better protection from punctures.

Smoother Spinning Wheels At High Speeds.

Tokyowheel rims are balanced for the weight of long inner-tube valves.

They look fantastic, no driving experience yet.... - Beautiful wheels. Light weight. Shipment took longer than expected and published but that was not an issue. Email communication was good and fast. Wheels do come from China, not Japan. To bad they don't come with wheel bags.

Nick R.

The wheels have arrived and look very good - The wheels have arrived and look very good indeed I have to say. Very pleased. Need to test them out but not sure if they will fit on my tri bike.:-( Anyway thanks for the superb service and communication during the buying process. All the best

88mm carbon clincher - Hi, I just received the wheels two days ago and they look amazing, didn't have the chance to ride them yet since there's a lot of snow down here in Montreal, but as soon as I do, I'll do a test report. I would have to admit, I wasn't so sure about purchasing the wheelset since tokyowheel is not really mainstream and haven't seen anyone with those wheels, but i have to say just by looking at them, they are worth every penny. They look stiff, strong and they are in perfect conditions. I would quote another reviewer, the service you get by James Ferrer is uncomparable to any other company. I asked many many questions and he always responded me with professionalisism the same day or the day after if it was late, you don't get that everywhere. I won't compare the wheels to any other well known brand simply because it's my first pair of carbon clincher, but I can assure that the price comparision says a lot, for a pair of zipp you would pay like 2500$+ more for the pair or enve 8.9 that are 4000$. I definetly recommand and thank you again for your help James!

Epic 88 carbon clincher wheelset - I purchased a set of the Epic 88mm Carbon Clincher Wheelset with Lighter Ceramic 4 Bearing Hubs + Sapim Cx-Ray Spokes & SILS Nipples. Wheels very stiff, nice looking, spin very fast & I'm super impressed with how well they ride & good they feel on the road.These wheels have been nothing but impressive! They spin up fast and seem to even pick up speed on the hills faster than some of the other big name carbon rims I've tried. Handling is responsive and crisp in the corners thanks to the advancements in wider rims. The integrity and quality of this product and the company so far have been awesome. And will confide in this company for further purchases. I should had order the off set Epic 60-88mm Carbon Clincher Wheelset. It was Recommended to me by my mechanic and he also a riders. He said that it would have giving me the most aerodynamic all around. I feel the cross wind on the front but all in all am happy with my purchase, next order I would get the off set.

Very good product and superb - Very good product and superb customer service. I can recommend

Guy R.

EPIC Purchase - They look great and will send some pics soon. Have not trialled yet. James for those DIY's (or beginner DIY's) may be good to also offer the Chain Whip and Lock Ring Tool - so that you can do the change yourself. Regards

Ben C.

EPIC 808 - Wheels are good and customer services also good! Only the valve extensions, seems not suitable to put at thur hole at wheels even wrong at second replacement. Really need investigate any wrong at size at manufactory process.

Marcelo C.

Optimum for everyday training! - They do the job well. The main reazon I've got the Epic 88 (standard hubs) is because I was looking for a wheelset for training that could simulate a similar condition of a race day. Those wheels offer a good quality finish, and good aerodynamic. I think it is a good choice for who want a wheelset for training. For races, if your pocket is full, they are not the best! The only matter here was the delivery that took much longer than the promised 14 days. I had to pay customs taxes (shipped to Brazil), but Tokyowheels refunded the 110% immediately.

Richard K.

Two rides in and I - Two rides in and I was very impressed. The wheels are as described and exceed my expectations so far.

David S.

New best time - On my first ride with the new wheels, I got some personal records on a couple courses on Stava. Hopefully this translates into a good time trial in my triathlon next week.

Martin B.

Comparo to 808 - these wheels are awesome! Compared directly w my buddies borrowed 808s, the difference in quality, fit and performance is not enough to notice...and certainly not enough to justify the 2x 808 cost... Let's see how they last, but for now, Epic seems the smart mans choice

Roman J.

excellent customer service, fast delivery, great communication with the seller, very supportive - Hi the level of support was phenomenal. this really helped the experience, James and others were relly helpful and answer any and all of my questions that i had, promptely and especially for someone like me, first time buying carbon wheels, they looked after me, this was also made even more outstanding after i was offered a discount for the wheels that i wanted. awesome fantastic product overall, i ve tested them. they looked beautiful too I would recommend this product any day Thank you Roman J

Shane R.

Out of the Box Awesome - Recently received my Epic 88 clinchers and they look brilliant. I will be having them set up on my bike shortly and will let you know how they go!

Kenneth C.

It's January here in Northern North America - Due to the winter I have not rode the new wheels yet!!!!! Not till spring....

Andy C.

Amazing! - Great wheels, such good quality and in my opinion look nicer than the rest of the wheels on the market. Solid, light and fast.

Jason A.

88 clincher - Nice light weight wheel, have had some trouble getting the valve extenders into the wheel but have made it work by using a different sized extender.

David H.

Great product - I am very happy with my purchase. High quality wheels for a fair price.

Fernado H.

Good quality for a good price - I'm in my first rides with Tokyo Wheels still but the good fellings are already there. I'm very happy with my choice.

Jafet M.

Excelent Service - Ill order my wheelset, and since I ordered it. The team of tokyowheel helped mena lot. With a lot of information of how to install and how to maintain the rims in perfect conditions. I recieved my order in time Great serviece and great product!!

Sergey K.

Epic 88 - Truly spectacular- went with the DT Swiss hubs. Never felt anything more robust, secure and fast before. Literally rolling on luxury. Will be buying more wheels from them in the future.

James M.

Jim's wheels - First time out was last Sunday- tt bike in a big wind. the wheels felt good but need more time

Teifion M.

Good wheels - Very impressed with the service and good wheels. Looking to put plenty of fast miles on them. Thanks

Fernando M.

Got the Epic 88 Clincher - I'm from Brazil and just bought the Epic 88 Clincher. First of all, costumer service was excellent. Usually took less than 24hours to answer any doubt i have. Wheelset arrived in less then a month and unfortunately for Brazilian people it´s nearly impossible to avoid customs. I rode the wheels for about 200km so far only and they are awesome. You could clearly see aero advantage and able to hold top speed on flats a little easier. Will buy another wheelset on future for sure if prices are still attractive to a point that it´s still worth paying the customs.

peter k.

88 epic - It looks awesome and when I go for long rides I'm flying with out trying .

Brian M.

Gorgeous wheels - I was incredibly impressed at the quality of these wheels, and the customer service related to buying them was great. I'd recommend this company to anyone.
