Description
The Peak 4550 Evolution model, which borrows improvements from the Wake 6560 Evolution and Alta 3532 models, once again raises the bar.
The internal rim width has been increased to 21 mm internal (28.2 mm external), while the rim weight has been reduced to 420 g. Stiffness and balance have been enhanced thanks to our patented radially-distributed lacing, and aerodynamic efficiency has also been improved.
The Peak 4550 Evolution now features a graphic design similar to our Wake 6560 Evolution, creating harmony for mixed Peak/Wake sets.
The Peak 4550 Evolution will continue to feature a hooked, hole-free tire bed, tubeless-ready, which accommodates clincher/tube tires or tubeless tires without the need for tape and without tire pressure restrictions. Competing hookless rims, although cheaper to produce and lighter, have proven problematic and potentially dangerous, especially in relation to tire selection and tire pressure limits. Princeton CarbonWorks still firmly believes that the hooked rim provides the safest and fastest solution for road riding and racing.
The added valve landing nut makes wheel setup even easier. Rim brakes and beds for both disc and rim tires will also be available.
All builds come with Sapim CX-Ray spokes, and a choice of White Industries, DT Swiss, Chris King and Tactic Racing hubs is available.
As with the Wake 6560 Evolution model, 10 colors and finishes are available.
