The Aerowave rim shape is deigned to provide maximum forward aerodynamics while minimizing the effect of cross-winds (which will happen on windy days, or when cars pass you, and can destabilize you). It's a balanced wheel design that provides max benefit and minimum downsides.
EPIC 5.6
All Purpose Aero Wheel System
Rider Type
Is this wheelset right for you?
Road Racing
The EPIC 5.6 is perfect for a wide variety of road racing situations. It's a more aerodynamic option than the EPIC 3.4, and performs great in rides and races with a lot of varying conditions. Perfect for longer race stages, criteriums, and for riders looking for an added aerodynamic advantage.
Triathlon
The EPIC 5.6 is the best choice for triathlons in windy conditions. It's a more crosswind stable wheelset than the EPIC 7.10, and is also great for lighter riders concerned about bike handling. If you are looking for an aero wheelset to use in any training and racing conditions, the EPIC 5.6 is for you.
Recreation
If you are a recreational rider, that rides solo and in a group over a variety of terrain and conditions, the EPIC 5.6 is for you. The superior aerodynamics are great for riding alone or leading a group. If you are looking for one wheelset to do everything, you've found it.
