Hyperion 3 is a lightweight road trainer for daily miles, tempo sessions, intervals and racing.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Representative weight is the JP men's 27 cm sample: 240 g in the exact product's specification tab. The historical overseas official 232.5 g / 8.2 oz sample is retained separately; its size was not documented and it is not averaged or converted into the JP value.
- Plate note
- Non-carbon classification follows the complete exact JP construction: DNA FLASH v2, increased foam, transition geometry and double-mesh upper, corroborated by the matched Fleet Feet and REI specifications. This is not a blanket no-plate statement.
