Description
Advanced aerospace engineering facilitates better speed through the breakthrough of dynamic cross-section variability – WAKE – which yields lower drag and reduced effects of vortex shedding. Optimized mechanical design paired with advanced manufacturing increases stress distribution and enables weight reduced layup schedule.
When Princeton CarbonWorks launched the  WAKE 6560, it broke industry benchmarks and forced discerning riders, like World Time Trial Champion Filippo Ganna to recalibrate aerodynamic, strength, stability and weight expectations. In 4 years of research and development Princeton Carbonworks wheels were wind tunnel confirmed, road tested, gravel verified and race proven.
Team Ineos rider, Filippo Ganna on his way to winning the 2020 World Championships Time Trial with the Princeton Carbonworks Wake 6560 front wheel and Blur rear wheel.
Description:
WAKE 6560 has symmetrical front and rear rim profiles that each contain 24 sinusoidal oscillations, resulting a revolutionary shaped rim varying between 60 and 65mm deep. Full carbon and tubeless ready, the rim profile is laced to your choice of WHITE INDUSTRIES, TUNE or DT Swiss Hubs, and are available in Rim or Disc brake versions. In addition to individual wheel build reports, each UCI-registered set of WAKE 6560s is delivered with (when necessary) skewers, tubeless tape and valves, PCW padded wheel bags, and SwissStop Black Prince brake pads.
