GRIT 4540 was designed from the ground up to recalibrate your expectations from an all-road carbon wheelset. Lightweight? Got it. Amazing stiffness? Check. Versatile, snappy, fast, stable? Always. Ideal for climbing and all purpose road OR gravel/CX (mixed terrain, gravel, cyclocross).
Taking experience from the 6560, Princeton launched the GRIT with variable depth sinusoidal cross section, for unrivaled cross wind stability. Princeton also introduced a slightly varying width to the profile, and optimized our carbon layup, focusing around high stress areas. The nipple bed has been completely re-engineered to provide greater carbon thickness in that area, while removing material where not needed. 21mm hook to hook and 29.9mm at the widest point. Next level stuff? Try a uniform, holeless tire bed. By removing holes from the tire bed, the wheel becomes incredibly stiff (holes+carbon aren't best friends). That allowed us to make the tire bed thinner (lighter) while providing greater hoop stiffness (stronger).
