Princeton Mach 7580 Evolution Disc Wheelset

The Princeton CarbonWorks Mach 7580 (and the latest Mach 7580 Evolution) wheelset is a performance-oriented, relentlessly aerodynamic and ultra-stiff premium carbon wheelset from the absolute top segment. This wheelset has been developed specifically for pure, uncompromising speed in time trials, triathlons and flat to rolling road races. The Mach 7580 is known worldwide as the ultimate front wheel (or complete wheelset) in the professional peloton and is the go-to choice of Team INEOS Grenadiers in WorldTour time trials when a front disc is not permitted or when the crosswind is too treacherous.

The construction is based on a hand-built carbon rim with Princeton's most extreme sinusoidal wave profile, undulating between an impressive 75 mm and 80 mm in depth. Where traditional wheels of this depth become unmanageable in strong gusts, the aerodynamic Variable Vortex Cross Section ensures that crosswinds are efficiently deflected. As a result, the Mach 7580 offers the stability and steering confidence of a much shallower wheel, while you benefit from the sailing properties of a deep aero rim. The latest Evolution version features a widened 21 mm internal width (and 28 mm maximum external width) and a completely holeless, tapeless rim bed. Because there are no spoke holes in the rim bed, the construction is lighter, stiffer and immediately 100% airtight for tubeless use without the need for vulnerable rim tape.

Features

• Weight: An exceptionally low total weight for this depth class, starting at just 1495 grams per pair depending on the hub configuration (with Tactic Racing TR01 hubs). As a standalone front wheel it weighs approximately 713 grams, giving unprecedentedly lively handling on a time trial bike.
• Construction: Fully hand-built carbon rim featuring Princeton's patented Radially Staggered Lacing pattern for perfectly balanced spoke tension. Built as standard with feather-light, aerodynamic Sapim CX-Ray spokes (24 front and rear) for maximum stiffness at high power outputs.
• Rim profile: A deep, sinusoidal aero profile (75 mm to 80 mm deep), specifically designed in the wind tunnel to guide the airflow perfectly around the tyre and reduce aerodynamic drag at high speeds to a minimum.
• Rim bed (Hooked): Equipped with a traditional hooked rim edge. Princeton thereby retains complete safety and flexibility for the rider, so you can choose without restrictions between the fastest tubeless time trial tyres or traditional clinchers with an inner tube (and latex inner tube).
• Tyre compatibility: Fully optimised aerodynamically and mechanically for modern 25 mm to 28 mm road and time trial tyres, with the tyre blending seamlessly into the rim edge for perfect airflow management.
• Hub & Drive: Fully configurable to your wishes with various top-class hub options, including the extremely reliable DT Swiss 180 / 240 EXP, Chris King R45D Ceramic, White Industries CLD or the ultra-high-end Tactic Racing TR01 hubs with pure ceramic bearings.
• Axle system & Brakes: Specifically developed for modern disc brake time trial bikes and aero racers with a standard 12 x 100 mm front axle and 12 x 142 mm rear axle with Center Lock disc rotor mount (a specific rim brake version is also available).
• Cassette compatibility: Can be seamlessly matched to all modern electronic and mechanical 11- and 12-speed road groupsets and is available with a Shimano HG, SRAM XDR or Campagnolo freehub body.
• Aesthetics & Extras: Available in all 10 luxurious Princeton CarbonWorks finishes (such as Matte Black, Gloss Chrome or Gold). The wheels are supplied as standard with two luxury padded wheel bags and high-quality, custom-balanced tubeless valves.
