Product Details
Lightweight, aero-optimized road wheelset built around a 28mm tire — fully hooked 22mm internal.
-
Optimized around 28mm tires using 3D-scanned real tire shapes + CFD + wind tunnel validation
-
Fully hooked 22mm internal / 33mm max external for modern 28mm performance
-
Rim weight 420g (down from 470g on Evo I) while exceeding 120J impact
-
Non-drilled tire bed (no tubeless tape needed)
-
Pre-balanced rims to reduce vibrations and harmonics
Raced at the highest level — used to win the Men’s Ironman and Men’s 70.3 World Championships (last season).
Built from the tire outward
Development started with the tire: 23–32mm road tires were mounted on hooked rim widths (21/22/23/24mm), 3D scanned, then tested in CFD and validated in wind tunnels to find the most efficient tire + rim combination. The result: Princeton’s most aerodynamically efficient mass-start compliant road wheel, designed around a 28mm tire.
Faster in real-world wind angles
With a 28mm GP5000, Evo II reduces drag vs Evo I across all tested yaw angles, saving ~3–104 gf (peak around ±17.5°).
