The Tokyowheel™ Epic 50 is what we recommend for riders looking for the best of both worlds. It climbs and handles well but provides noticeable aerodynamic advantage. It’s great for long bike rides, group rides and will hold it’s own in a variety of different competitive settings. 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 50.

The Epic 50mm rim is ideal for riders that tackle both long/flat rides (where aerodynamics are particularly advantageous), and fast group rides or hill climbs (where light weight and stability are critical). A great all-around contender.
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.
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 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.

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.
*Epic 60 Shown
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.
*Epic 60 Shown
Use either traditional tires with tubes, or tubeless tires without tubes. Tubeless tires can provide lower rolling resistance and better protection from punctures.

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

Since 2010. If you're interested, please take a look at the company time-line we publish on our About page.
We don't have any payment plan options at present. Most people use credit cards to accomplish the same thing, and might even get better interest rates doing so.
We offer a 65 day test ride with 110% paid returns. So if you would like to do a test ride, you can place an order for the wheels of your choice, and try the wheels for up to 65 days. If you want to return them we’ll pay the return shipping costs, give you a full refund, and pay you an extra 10% for your time.
