Princeton CarbonWorks GRIT 4540 DISC Brake Carbon Wheels : SRAM XDR

Season:2023

Brand:Princeton Carbonworks

Code:WHPNG4D

Princeton CarbonWorks are a young US wheel company but despite that have already proved themselves at the top tier of professional cycle sport. Chosen by INEOS Grenadiers, they have already had several victories in a career of only a few months.

The GRIT 4540 is - like the WAKE 6560 - a wheel set of variable depth, with a maximum / minimum depth of 45 and 40mm, placing it firmly in the all-round depth category. The oscillating sinusoidal shape features 24 'peaks' and conveys the aerodynamic advantages of a deep rim with the enhanced stability of a shallower rim. This is primarily achieved by reducing buffeting as the trailing edge is continuously changing, which leads to a more aerodynamic wheel with improved stability, particularly in cross winds.

Thier shape yields structural advantages too. The wheel is stronger because each nipple is positioned at the highest point of the oscillation and so requires less carbon fibre in construction. In turn this results in a reduction in overall weight while still maintaining critical stiffness.

The GRIT also feature a slightly varying width to the profile, and the carbon lay-up differs from the WAKE 6560 in that it is focussed around the spoke holes and strengthened in the high stress areas. Concurrent with the rest of the range, the GRIT 4540 are tubeless-ready and employ a holeless rim bed which does away with the need for tape - so less fuss all round. That said, this is a secondary benefit as the holeless rim bed is primarily used to help reduce weight and increase stiffness.

The internal rim width is wider than that of the more aero focussed WAKE at 21mm and is better suited to higher volume tyres associated with All-Road, Cyclocross and Gravel riding. The external rim width tops out at a maximum of 29.9mm. They ship with tubeless valves along with padded wheel bags. Spokes are Sapim CX-Ray 24/24 on the disc wheels.

This disc brake version of the GRIT 4540 wheels - currently the only option for UK riders - is available with a choice of the high performance and durable White Industries hubs or the ultra light Tune hubs. Shipped with Shimano or XDR freehub. Weight for the White Industries Disc Brake pair is a smidge over the 1500g mark at 1511g.

The Princeton CarbonWorks GRIT 4540 redefines what can be accomplisehed in a carbon wheel : strength, stability, comfort and weight are all perfectly balanced for a host of surfaces and riding styles & disciplines, from epic mountain adventures on the road to churning it out on the gravel. The balance of all critical elements for wheels, combined with the centrelock Disc brake configuration means that the need for multiple wheelsets may be a thing of the past - totally justifying the outlay!

The GRIT 4540 wheels are ideal for those looking for unrivalled multi-discipline versatility in a stiff, stable and lightweight package.
