Princeton CarbonWorks DUAL 5550 EVO Wheelset – DT Swiss 240 (Disc)
The Princeton CarbonWorks DUAL 5550 EVO wheelset built with DT Swiss 240 hubs is designed to be the ultimate “do‑it‑all” carbon wheel upgrade for riders who want speed on the road and confidence when routes turn rough. With a modern 24mm internal rim width, a hooked bead profile, and a variable 55–50mm depth rim design, the DUAL EVO targets real‑world aerodynamics, stable handling, and modern tyre support—making it an ideal choice for performance road riding, fast endurance training and all‑road/gravel adventures across Brisbane, Queensland and Australia.
What makes the DUAL EVO stand out is its combination of width and depth. The wide rim profile is built to suit contemporary tyre choices, improving tyre shape and stability at lower pressures for comfort on coarse chip seal and mixed surfaces. The deeper mid‑profile rim concept helps reduce drag at typical ride speeds without feeling nervous in changing wind, while Princeton’s patented Radially Staggered Lacing is intended to improve stiffness balance so the wheelset feels responsive when you accelerate, climb, and sprint.
For riders upgrading key bike parts such as wheels, tyres and drivetrains, the DUAL EVO DT240 build is a premium option that fits neatly into a workshop‑supported setup. Pair it with professional tubeless setup, brake rotor installation, and drivetrain compatibility checks through your local bike shop or bicycle service centre for the best results—especially if you’re moving to wider tyres or changing freehub standards.
Built for easy tubeless setup (holeless rim bed)
The DUAL EVO uses holeless tyre beds, designed to simplify tubeless installation and reduce potential leak points. That means faster setup and easier maintenance when you’re refreshing sealant or swapping tyres ahead of events, gran fondos, or race season.
DT Swiss 240 hubs: premium performance with serviceability
The DT Swiss 240 platform is a popular choice for riders who want a high‑end hub with proven reliability and easy long‑term servicing. In this configuration, it supports the wheelset’s all‑round performance goals while keeping total system weight competitive.
Included accessories for protection and setup
Every wheelset ships with two padded Princeton CarbonWorks wheel bags and tubeless valves, supporting safe transport and a clean setup out of the box.
