Princeton Wake 6560 Evolution II

The Princeton CarbonWorks Wake 6560 was conceived in 2012, with initial riding models completed in 2015.

Since then, there have been 5 iterations of our flagship wheel, each offering improvements in aerodynamic performance and efficiency, weight, stiffness, responsiveness, and quality.

A unique and balanced combination of attributes has made the Wake 6560 the go-to wheel for those looking for peak performance: aerodynamically faster than deeper wheels, lighter and better-handling than shallower wheels, all while stiff, responsive, and lively under power.

The Wake 6560 Evolution II is our most aerodynamically efficient mass-start compliant road wheel, designed around a 28mm tire. This is achieved using a 22mm internal, fully hooked profile and a maximum external width of 33mm. Rim weight has been reduced from 470g for the Evolution I to 420g for the Evolution II, all while exceeding 120J impact test energy.

The Wake 6560 Evolution II utilizes an all-new carbon layup to achieve both light weight and high impact resistance. Composite material development results in a 10% reduction in wheelset mass from the Wake Evolution I, all while retaining the safety, reliability, and ease of maintenance of steel spokes. Non-drilled tire beds remain standard, removing the need for tubeless tape. Additionally, the Evolution II family now features pre-balanced rims to further reduce speed-stealing vibrations and harmonics.

1250g total weight.
