EPIC 3.4
Lightweight Aero Wheel System
The ultimate lightweight wheelset. Designed for rides with a lot of climbing and sprinting. The EPIC 3.4 is the lightest aerodynamic wheel, with the best handling.
Rider Type
Is this wheelset right for you?
Road Racing
The EPIC 3.4 is the ideal wheelset for road races involving a lot of climbing or attack sprinting. It's great for gaining speed out of criterium racing corners. The incredibly stable handling keeps things safe when riding in a peleton, and the light weight, high stiffness wheel system is great for breakaways or catching the wheel of a passing rider.
Triathlon
For the best triathlon time savings, we generally recommend a higher rim depth wheelset, like the EPIC 7.10 , but if you are looking for a wheelset for very windy conditions the EPIC 3.4 is for you. Choose this wheelset if your looking for an ultra stable lightweight wheelset for windy days or courses with significant climbing.
Recreation
The EPIC 3.4 is the perfect recreational wheelset. You will love the dramatic increase in speed over traditional wheels. The highly stable EPIC 3.4 is great for side-by-side or paceline riding in group rides. The lightweight and super stiff rim design will help you on climbs and when sprinting to catch, or break away, from other riders.

14-21 days is our estimated delivery window. We make this window 95% of the time. If you have an event coming up or something we can put a rush on the order. This means it will be processed preferentially where possible, which will shave a few days off the lead time.
We include the correct length valve extenders for every order. If you prefer to not use extenders and go with longer tube valve stems please be aware that the exact valve length required can be affected by your pump head. With most pumps you should be safe with 15mm of valve left showing out of the rim and some work with as little as 12mm.
