Princeton CarbonWorks Alta 3532 – Ultra-Light Carbon Climbing Wheelset

The Princeton CarbonWorks Alta 3532 is the lightest and shallowest wheelset in the PCW lineup, purpose-built to excel on the steepest and most demanding climbs. Combining cutting-edge design with premium materials, the Alta 3532 delivers exceptional stiffness, lightning-fast responsiveness, and long-lasting durability in an ultra-light package.

Engineered for Modern Performance

• 21mm Internal Hooked Tubeless-Ready Clincher Profile – Perfectly accommodates today’s wider road tyres for enhanced grip, comfort, and rolling efficiency.

• Non-Drilled Tyre Bed – PCW’s signature design allows for fast, reliable tubeless setup with improved air retention.

• Optimised Valve Exit – Shaped for easy valve tightening, reducing finger strain during installation.

Revolutionary EVOLUTION Rim Technology
The Alta 3532 debuts PCW’s new EVOLUTION rim design and advanced carbon layup. Rim depths vary between 35mm and 32mm, optimising aerodynamics while maintaining feather-light weight. At just 348g per rim (hooked, clincher, tubeless-ready), this wheelset offers a perfect balance of speed, handling, and climbing efficiency.

Balanced Spoke Tension for Maximum Power
The unique asymmetric profile ensures steep spokes (rear drive side and front disc side) connect to the deeper rim section, creating symmetry with opposing spokes for better tension balance and improved performance.

Precision Asymmetric Cross-Section
For the first time, PCW utilises a variable, asymmetric cross-section to improve spoke alignment and create a direct spoke-to-rim interface. Each spoke’s nipple bed is articulated to match the exact entry angle, increasing stiffness and strength.

Lightweight Without Compromise
By removing excess material from the rim’s inner edge, the EVOLUTION design reduces weight, optimises spoke bracing angles, and maximises efficiency—resulting in a wheelset that is faster, lighter, and more responsive than ever before.
