First introduced as the PEAK 4550 platform at the Tour de France with Team Ineos, the concept has evolved into a modern, middle‑depth road wheelset that blends low weight with aerodynamic stability for everyday performance riding and race‑pace efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the EVO generation, Princeton refined the rim to suit today’s tyre sizes and real road conditions. The rim is now \u003cstrong\u003e21mm internal width (28.2mm external)\u003c\/strong\u003e and uses a \u003cstrong\u003ehooked, hole‑less tubeless‑ready tyre bed\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning you can run tubeless without rim tape and still keep the option to run clinchers with tubes. That “no tape” rim bed also reduces setup hassle and potential leak points, which many riders appreciate when refreshing tyres before events or doing frequent tyre swaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA defining feature of the PEAK EVO design is Princeton’s patented \u003cstrong\u003eRadially Staggered Lacing\u003c\/strong\u003e, created to improve spoke tension balance and stiffness. The goal is a wheel that feels composed under power—snappy when you accelerate, predictable when you stand up on climbs, and stable when descending at speed. Princeton pairs this build with \u003cstrong\u003eSapim CX‑Ray spokes\u003c\/strong\u003e and the proven \u003cstrong\u003eDT Swiss 240 \u003c\/strong\u003ehub platform, a combination widely chosen by riders who want premium performance with straightforward servicing and long‑term parts support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is the \u003cstrong\u003eMatte Black \/ White Decals\u003c\/strong\u003e option and is available with \u003cstrong\u003eShimano HG\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eSRAM XDR\u003c\/strong\u003e freehub choices, making it easy to match common modern road drivetrains.
