Princeton CarbonWorks Alta 3532 Road Bike Tubeless-Ready Tactic Hubs

The Princeton CarbonWorks Alta 3532 wheelset exemplifies advanced engineering in lightweight road cycling technology, tailored for riders who prioritise climbing efficiency and reliable performance. Designed to deliver exceptional stiffness and durability, this wheelset offers a competitive edge on demanding ascents, enabling confident and swift climbs. Its construction reflects meticulous attention to detail, combining innovative design with premium materials to meet professional standards.

Featuring a 21mm internal hooked tubeless-ready clincher rim, the Alta 3532 supports wider modern tyres, enhancing both traction and ride comfort without sacrificing aerodynamic efficiency. The unique non-drilled tyre bed simplifies tubeless tyre installation, reducing setup time and minimising the risk of leaks. Additionally, the optimised valve exit design facilitates easy valve tightening, contributing to a seamless user experience. This wheelset is an excellent addition to any road bike configuration, offering versatility and performance across multiple riding conditions.

Incorporating the proprietary EVOLUTION rim design and layup, the wheelset features a variable rim depth ranging from 35 to 32 millimetres and an impressively low rim weight of 348 grams. The asymmetric cross-section improves spoke tension balance and engagement, resulting in more direct power transfer and enhanced ride responsiveness. By refining spoke bracing angles and eliminating excess material from the inner rim edge, the Alta 3532 achieves an optimal balance of strength, durability, and weight savings, aligning with the expectations of discerning cyclists.
