Description
The Tokyowheel™ Epic 60 is a real workhorse. Recommended for riders looking for all-around performance, it provides competition-ready aerodynamics and handling suited to almost any context. 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 the Tokyowheel™ Epic 60.

Rim
Epic 60mm Deep Carbon Rim. For Aerodynamics & Crosswind Stability.
The Epic 60mm 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.
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.
*Epic 38 Shown
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.
*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.
2-Way Clincher Tubeless. Tubes or No-Tubes - You Choose.
*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.
Carbon Valve Balance. Smoother Spinning Wheels At High Speeds.
*Epic 60 Shown
Tokyowheel rims are balanced for the weight of long inner-tube valves.
DuraHeat-R™ High-Temperature Carbon. Better Braking Performance.
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).

3*: wheel, built very well, good-looking, everything okay. but torquing strongly out of the saddle it flexes until touching the brake pads. therefore i'm forced to keep the brakes very open. I don't know if this is a common characteristic of carbon wheels, or if it is a simple problem that I could possibly solve by checking the spoke tension.5*: delivery and customer service 5*: packaging and tracking 5*: accessories - quick release, spacer for 10 speed, brake pads for carbon (braking power improvable, but they do the job!)
