Description
The Tokyowheel™ Epic 38 is what we recommend for people interested in fast group riding and climbing. It’s light, responsive and crosswind friendly - guaranteed to handle well in all conditions. 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 38.
EPIC 38mm Deep Carbon Rim.
Light & Fast.
The Epic 38mm rim is our lightest and most stable. Great for sprints, climbing and riding in high winds.
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 26mm Rim
Increased Aerodynamics and Improved Handling.
The extra wide rim has multiple benefits. The rim's 26mm 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 out out the tire, which creates a wider contact patch between the tire and the road resulting in improved handling and reduced rolling resistance. The 25mm outter 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.

Carbon Valve Balance.
Smoother Spinning Wheels At High Speeds.
Tokyowheel rims are balanced for the weight of long inner-tube valves.
