Princeton CarbonWorks Wake 6560 EVO II Wheelset – DT Swiss 240

The Princeton CarbonWorks Wake 6560 EVO II paired with DT Swiss 240 hubs is a high‑end carbon road wheelset designed for riders who want an aerodynamic advantage without the drawbacks that often come with deep rims. The 6560 concept uses a front‑to‑rear profile strategy that aims to deliver fast real‑world speed, stable handling in crosswinds, and a lively feel under power—making it a strong choice for racing, fast bunch rides, and performance-focused road builds.

The EVO II generation is engineered around a 28mm road tyre, using a 22mm internal rim width and a fully hooked bead profile to support modern tyre shapes and confident cornering. With a maximum 33mm external width, the rim is tuned to deliver efficient airflow with today’s wider tyres while maintaining predictable steering.

A key upgrade in EVO II is the reduced rim mass (down from the previous generation), targeting sharper acceleration and improved climbing efficiency. The wheelset also features a non-drilled tyre bed, which means it’s tubeless-ready without rim tape, simplifying setup and reducing potential leak points. Princeton also introduces pre-balanced rims in the EVO II family to help minimise vibration and harmonics that can sap speed and reduce ride comfort over long distances.

This DT240 build is a popular “sweet spot” configuration: premium hub quality with low weight and widely supported serviceability. Choose your freehub to match your drivetrain—Shimano HG or SRAM XDR—and select your preferred decal style to suit your bike build.
