Peak 4550 Evolution DB TLR

The Princeton CarbonWorks Peak 4550 Evolution is a carbon road wheelset developed for riders who value low weight, precise handling and aerodynamic performance. Its distinctive undulating rim profile varies between 45 and 50 mm deep, creating a recognizable design shaped by Princeton CarbonWorks' work on the behavior of wheels in changing riding conditions. The result is a wheelset intended to feel responsive on climbs and during accelerations while remaining composed on descents and efficient across faster sections of road.

The carbon rim has a 21 mm internal width and a maximum external width of 28.2 mm. Its construction uses Princeton CarbonWorks' Radially Staggered Lacing design, developed to enhance wheel balance and stiffness. Aerodynamic Sapim CX-Ray spokes are paired with Sapim SecureLock alloy nipples. The understated black finish and subtle graphics reinforce the distinctive appearance of the Peak 4550 Evolution range without distracting from the shape of the rim itself.

This disc-brake configuration is built with White Industries CLD hubs and uses the Center Lock rotor interface. Princeton CarbonWorks lists a wheelset weight of 1,480 g for the White Industries CLD configuration; this figure refers to the manufacturer's specified build rather than an individual measured pair.

The tire bed is hooked and tubeless ready, with a hole-free structure that avoids drilling through the rim bed for spoke nipples. It supports either tubeless tires or standard clincher tires with inner tubes, without the conventional rim tape needed to seal spoke holes. Together, these features give riders flexibility when choosing their preferred tire setup. With its variable-depth profile, carefully engineered carbon rim and White Industries hubs, the Peak 4550 Evolution aims to offer a lively road feel across varied terrain, from rolling training routes to demanding climbs and confident descents.
