Princeton CarbonWorks Wake 6560 Evolution II Wheelset (Aero Road / 28mm Optimized)

The Princeton CarbonWorks Wake 6560 Evolution II wheelset is a flagship aero road carbon wheelset engineered for mass-start compliant performance and optimized around a 28mm tire. Featuring a 22mm internal, fully hooked rim profile with a 33mm maximum external width, a non-drilled (hole-less) tire bed that eliminates tubeless tape, and a new carbon layup that drops rim weight to 420g while exceeding 120J impact energy, Wake 6560 Evolution II delivers speed, stability, and race-day responsiveness.

Designed to be aerodynamically efficient while remaining stiff, responsive, and confidence-inspiring in crosswinds, the Wake 6560 platform has evolved through multiple iterations since its original concept in 2012. The Evolution II generation further reduces wheelset mass by approximately 10% versus Evolution I, while keeping the durability, safety, and serviceability of steel spokes.
