CADEX Max 40 Disc Tubeless

TAKE FLIGHT

With cutting-edge hub-and-spoke technology and a new 40mm rim profile, this
is the lightest WheelSystem ever created by CADEX. Super Aero bladed carbon spokes are seamlessly integrated with thin aero hub flanges to reduce weight and drag, while Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology sets the spokes at a wider bracing angle to stabilise tension under force and boost power transfer. The 40mm deep carbon rims help keep overall weight at just 1249 grams, and a broad 22.4mm hookless inner rim width offers better tire sidewall support and improved control.
Current price: $3,000 RRP - $3,800 RRP

Features

  • Integrated spoke, hub flange and aero hub design for optimal weight savings, better power transfer, and improved aerodynamics.
  • CADEX hookless rim technology with optimised carbon layup improves durability and tyre performance at a superlight weight.
  • High-tensile-strength integrated CADEX Super Aero spokes with hidden nipples and independent internal spoke tension adjustment minimise lateral flex for more efficient acceleration and climbing.
  • Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology sets spokes at a wider bracing angle to stabilise spoke tension levels under pedalling force, producing a stiffer, more efficient wheel with outstanding power transfer.
  • 48-tooth ratchet engagement in the CADEX R3-C48 Aero Hub offers more immediate power transfer.
  • CADEX Ratchet Wave Spring ensures the outer and inner ratchet rings engage with consistent and even force for smoother action and better rolling efficiency.
  • Broad 22.4mm inner rim width creates a rounder tyre profile and increased tyre contact patch for better sidewall support, improved handling, and less rider fatigue.
  • 40mm rim profile delivers exceptional stability and aero benefits for all-day efforts.
  • In-mould carbon surface graphic technology blends CADEX logos into the carbon rim surface without the need for etching or decals.

Technologies

CADEX Super Aero Carbon Spokes

Ultra-lightweight high tensile-strength CADEX aero carbon spokes minimise lateral flex for more efficient acceleration and climbing and feature a purpose designed aero shape offering class-leading aerodynamic characteristics as well as superior stability in shifting winds.

CADEX Ceramic Bearings

Durable, ultra-hard ceramic bearings further increase hub rolling efficiency with lower rolling resistance and 1.5x smoother action than steel bearings.

CADEX Hookless Rim Technology

CADEX hookless rim technology, featuring a broad inner rim width and durable continuous carbon fibre structure, helps create a rounder tyre shape for superior grip and handling plus added sidewall support for cornering, all without compromising on weight.

CADEX Precision Reinforced Layup

CADEX precision reinforced layup places high tensile strength carbon fibre only where needed, creating a strong, stiff structure at minimal weight.

Custom-Tuned DBL Technology

Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology sets spokes at a wider bracing angle and for the same tension level under pedalling force, producing a stiffer, more efficient wheel with outstanding power transfer.

In-mould Carbon Surface Graphic Technology

Advanced carbon moulding technology allows fine rim surface finishing treatment directly within the mould, eliminating the need for additional carbon treatment or decals.

Integrated Hub Design

One-piece aero hub and spoke design, where CADEX Super Aero Carbon Spokes are seamlessly bonded straight into the aero hub flange, forming a one-piece structure with the hub. This integrated configuration hides the nipples into the rim, while ensuring independent tension tuneability.

CADEX R3-C48 Aero Hub

Precision machined 48 tooth ratchet hub with CADEX Ratchet Wave Spring offers ultra-fast engagement, reduces aerodynamic loss and virtually eliminates bearing load as ultra-smooth, low-rolling resistance CADEX ceramic bearings further reduce watt loss.
