Found: Sinusoidal Princeton Carbonworks WAKE 6560 wheels claim faster, lighter, cheaper By Zach Overholt -March 1, 2018 Ready for another battle of the wind tunnels and white papers? There’s a new wheel company in town, and they’re aiming straight for the top with their first wheel – the WAKE 6560. Started by a group of elite rowers […]
North American Hand Built Show | Hartford, CT February 16-18 Ahead of NAHBS we teased the unveiling of WAKE [D] 6560 on a stunner BH G7 “Something wicked this way comes.” BH has been instrumental in our photography content, particularly Matt Sodnicar, and this photo becoming our most liked Instagram post to date was a […]
SWOON | Ivy League Wheels at a State School Price | Princeton CarbonWorks Wheels Will Make Your Head Spin Princeton CarbonWorks’ new carbon clincher wheelset is designed around a rim with 24 sinusoidal oscillations, creating a shape that aims to cut through the wind faster than a standard rim profile. Alternating between 60 and 65mm […]
It’s just a memo – about how Princeton CarbonWorks makes you faster. Princeton CarbonWorks #betterspeed Memo “Cyclists don’t want aerodynamic wheels: They want fast, light wheels. Wheel design advanced through carbon fiber pushed the envelope, while unfortunately staying confined by an industry adage “width, depth, weight – optimize one, compromise the others.” This leads to […]

A “Sinusoid” is a mathematical curve that describes a smooth and repetitive oscillation. The WAKE 6560 has 24 such waves molded into its carbon fiber. The profile provides benefits to mechanics, aerodynamics, and weight. Mechanically, the dynamic cross-section variability – WAKE – puts spoke tension point at a symmetrically convex section of carbon, vs concave […]
