These CarbonWorks Peak 4550 Evolution II Princeton are designed for climbers and road cyclists seeking an exceptional balance between lightness and stiffness. With a claimed weight of 1,200 grams per pair, these wheels set the standard for mountain riding, whilst maintaining an aerodynamic profile and stability optimised for descents and fast sections.

The rims feature an internal width of 22 mm and an external width of 32 mm. Princeton CarbonWorks retains a hooked rim design, with no drilling, which is tubeless-ready without the need for an adhesive rim tape, as well as being compatible with conventional tube-type tyres, with no restrictions on tyre pressure. The brand claims that this technical choice offers superior safety compared to competing hookless rims, particularly in terms of tyre selection and pressure limits.

These wheels are fitted with Alpina Hyperlite spokes and Sapim SecureLock alloy nuts, and are available with Tactic Racing TR01 hubs, which are extremely lightweight and guarantee ultra-fast engagement and a very distinctive sound. These Peak 4550 Evolution II Princeton are available with three freehub bodies (Shimano, SRAM XDR, Campagnolo), as well as ten paint finishes to suit every cyclist’s style.
