About Princeton CarbonWorks
Princeton CarbonWorks builds its road range around the Wake 6560, a wheel first drawn in 2012 and ridden from 2015, and now in its sixth version. Its rim never holds one depth all the way round: it rises and falls between 60 and 65 mm, and that variable profile runs through the whole family, from the 32 to 35 mm Alta 3532 to the 75 to 80 mm Mach 7580. In each road and gravel name, the four digits are those two depths.
Princeton has stayed with the hooked bead on purpose. Every road and gravel rim takes tubes or tubeless tires without hookless pressure limits, and the tire beds are not drilled, so tubeless setup needs no rim tape. The Evolution II rims on the Wake 6560 and Peak 4550 are pre-balanced against their valves and clear 120 J in impact testing, and the 385 g Grit 4540 rim takes 130 J.
For gravel and mixed roads, the Grit 4540 and Dual 5550 use Princeton's patented Radially Staggered Lacing, which alternates rim depth between drive-side and non-drive-side spokes to even out tension and bracing angles. The Alta 3532 introduced the EVOLUTION rim design, an asymmetric cross-section that lines each nipple up with its spoke. Every wheelset comes in ten finishes with six hub choices.
Against the clock, prototypes of the Mach 7580 TSV3 tri-spoke won a grand tour stage and a triathlon world championship before launch, and the Blur 633 V5 rear disc has its own grand tour stage wins and professional triathlon victories. On the velodrome, the Track Special has carried a World Hour Record and an Individual Pursuit world record.
