Looks Great - ready for summer

Ordered the wheels. Had to cancel my order. Communication was poor. Said they would refund my order. Told order shipped. Never received them. Thank goodness my credit card company stopped payment and gave me a refund. Be careful.

Andrei A.

Great wheels. I used them on flat and for climbing also (https://www.strava.com/activities/10124983775), and it was a nice experience. I use alternately Aerowave 3.4 disc and Epic 5.6 disc and i don' t know wich wheelset is the best. I wish to know how Aerowave 5.6 works.

Balint S.

It was pretty smooth business, arrived fast. Assembling is quite straightfwd, aftersales communication is fast. The product needs trueing, but can be used as is. Very good stiffness, nice highspeed stability are the main pros, exactly what I was looking for.

Andrei A.

After first km. with these wheels i can say: Good quality. Nice look. Very smooth rolling. My bike seems more stable. Fast delivery.

First excuse my english! I buy thèse wheelset on Tokyowheel for the first Time and I made two ride (triathlon compétition), if I compare to my Woven wheelset , I will Saïd that’s good for training. The Tokyo wheelset, is to heavy to much sensitive whit the Wind. But for the Price it’s good. If you want my recommandation; I will Saïd ; cut the pound on the wheelset and make them more angle ( to the back wheel. And the other think is the delay to receive the wheelset. But the wheelset is good and I recommand it. But the service is very good , thank’s. If you need other things let me know. Excuse my english again…

René L.

This things are so smooth, can't say they are quiet, that hub is extremely loud, but i like it. Thank you, solid purchase.

Peter L.

Great price, real value for money. Well packaged so arrived in perfect condition. Wheels everything I requested. Fantastic product and service from the team at Tokyo Wheels.

Zero stars should be an option - This company made no efforts to communicate with me regarding several productions delays that prevent them from meeting at least 4 shipment dates. To the best of my knowledge if I hadn't asked them about the delays I never would have known anything about getting my wheels as the company advertises on their website. After finally receiving the wheels, the company didn't provide the correct valve extenders for the wheels and also the hub was not properly installed. Wheels we in need of of some tlc just to spin on a work stand. This is when I gave up on this company and return their product. Don't even know how the wheels worked because I wasn't spending more money on something that should have been done before shipment. Shipment that was about two months behind the original projected shipment date. The only thing this company was good about was holding true to their return policy, and that just indicates to me that they probably have to much practice refunding 110% from their products. No one should ever do business with this company. The customer service is terrible and they didn't seem to care about keeping the projected dates and they definitely didn't care about communicating with the customer when they couldn't reach these dates. No one should waste money trying out these wheels. Not worth it regardless of the price and claims.

Best looking wheels on the market - Fast, light and good looking wheels...a lot of envious friends

First set of Carbon Tubless - Prior to purchasing I read quite a bit on going tubeless and running carbon rims. I am 5'11 185lbs and had some concern over the rims durability. So far so good, plus I purchased the extended warranty. I have already picked up approx. 2mph in average speed with the 5.6 rim set. I am a believer now.

Fantastic Customer Service - I can't provide any feedback on the Epic 5.6 Disc Carbon Clincher wheelset that I purchased because, for reasons wholly unrelated to the wheels or Tokyowheel, I had to return them before I even had a chance to take them out of the box. The team at Tokyowheel was very easy to work with on the return, and the shipping to and from Tokyowheel was without a hitch. Once I have my replacement bicycle built out I will be ordering them again and look forward to writing an actual review of the wheels.

Mark E.

Awesome wheels - Hi, I recently purchased a set of Epic 5.6 Disc Clinchers. I must admit I was a little nervous about the stated weight of the wheel set being a little on the heavy side. Others in our group run the Epic 3.4 wheels so I was stepping outside the square a bit, especially as Auckland NZ is quite hilly. My fears have been eliminated. What an awesome set of wheels my riding has been transformed! I am substantially faster on the flats and the big surprise to me is I believe I'm also quicker on the climbs as well. Very pleased with the choice....I think my buddies riding the Epic 3.4 are a little jealous. Customer service post sale has been great. I had an issue with the rear axle not being fully tightened on delivery and the Customer Service team were quick to offer reimbursement to have a local mechanic service it. Also the Import duty was promptly refunded using the 110% back Guarantee program Thanks Tokyowheel team Regards Mark Erikson

Morten S.

Truly Epic - Only had 2 rides so far on these wheels, but ohh gee, what rides... My previous wheels where Enve SES 5.6, and the Tokyos are at least as good, at under half the price! This is my third, but not last set of Tokyo Wheels, keep up the good work James & Co.

Fast & Good - Fast & Good

Martin C.

Can’t Beat the price! - I purchased the Epic 5 6 Disc wheel with DT Swiss 240 hubs and paid less than I would for just the rear hub at my local shop. So built up a new Parlee RZ7 with the wheels on it and all I can say is “WOW” I will not hesitate to promote ToykoWheels they are great products at even greater prices!

Norman K.

EPIC 5.6 DISC Carbon Clincher Wheelset - Extremely happy with this wheelset. Perform great right out of the box. Build quality and finish are spot on. Ride and handling: after the first 500km I had no issues at all, fast rolling, very stable, even with strong cross winds. Ordering and shipping: delivery within 2 weeks after ordering, no issues with taxes. No negatives? Perhaps use stronger adhesive for the decals, these come off relatively easy and the hubs would look even better in matte black, matching the rim. All in all well worth the 5 star rating, thanks Tokyowheel !!

Bruce M.

Purchase of 3X sets of 5.6 disc road wheels - First impression they simply great wheels, they spin true look great quality is superb. I will rate they again once installed on my bikes.

Epic 5.6 Disc - Love the wheels, super smooth. Great communication .

EPIC 5.6 DISC CLINCHER REVIEW - GREAT SET OF WHEELS, VERY AFFORDABLE, MY 4TH SET OF WHEELS

Geoff R.

Outstanding wheels and support! - The Tokyowheel team is too notch in their support before, during, and after. The wheels are really well made, true, and smooth running as well.

Joseph B.

EPIC 5.6disc - I’ll start with the bad. I ordered my 5.6 disc wheels in February and got stuck waiting for ages. Global pandemic, shipping from Asia was a mess. On to the good, tubeless setup is a breeze! I mean easy. No tricks needed, I think that shows these wheels are made with tight tolerances. Weight on these was ~1 gram less than expected. I also have a set of Tokyowheels 60mm tubulars which were perfect until I got a disc brake race bike. So far I’ve been impressed with the 5.6s they are very polite in most wind situations. They lightened the bike a bit over the alloy hoops I’d been on. The look the absolute business.
