Notable Tech, Materials & Construction

The Wake 6560 Evolution II utilises Princeton CarbonWorks' highly distinctive sinusoidal rim profile, developed through years of aerodynamic testing and real-world racing. Unlike conventional deep-section wheels, the alternating rim depth is designed to manage airflow more effectively across varying yaw angles, helping riders maintain speed while improving handling in gusty conditions.

A completely revised carbon laminate schedule has reduced overall rim weight while simultaneously increasing impact resistance. The rims exceed demanding impact testing standards while maintaining the stiffness required for sprinting, climbing and high-speed descending.

The wheelset features:

  • Advanced high-modulus carbon fibre construction
  • Fully hooked tubeless-compatible rim profile
  • Non-drilled rim bed eliminating the need for tubeless tape
  • Pre-balanced rims to minimise vibration at speed
  • Optimised aerodynamics around modern 28mm tyres
  • High spoke tension architecture for enhanced power transfer
  • Easy-to-service steel spoke configuration

The result is a wheelset that combines lightweight climbing characteristics with the aerodynamic efficiency normally associated with significantly deeper wheels.
Size, Fit, Geometry & Measurements
  • Wheel Size: 700C
  • Profile Depth: Variable 60mm-65mm
  • Internal Width: 22mm
  • Maximum External Width: 33mm
  • Recommended Tyre Size: 28mm optimised, compatible with a range of modern road tyre sizes
