Features

  • 50mm Aero Rim Profile – A deep 50mm rim profile maximizes aerodynamic efficiency, reducing drag for sustained high-speed performance in race conditions.
  • Integrated Max Hub And Spoke Technology – A one-piece hub, flange, spoke, and rim structure forms a fully integrated system that minimizes drag, smooths airflow, and maximizes real-world efficiency at speed.
  • Precision Reinforced Carbon Layup – High-tensile fibres are strategically placed only where needed to create a strong, torsionally stiff structure while minimizing overall weight.
  • CADEX Super Aero Carbon Spokes – High-tensile integrated carbon spokes with hidden nipples and independent internal tensioning minimize lateral flex for efficient acceleration and responsive climbing.
  • Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) – A wider bracing angle and balanced spoke tension under pedaling load result in a stiffer wheel with outstanding power transfer and handling precision.
  • 22.4mm Inner Width – A wide 22.4mm internal rim creates a more efficient tyre profile with an increased contact patch, improving sidewall support and confident handling at speed.
  • CADEX R3-C48 Aero Hub – An aerodynamic hub design with a 48-tooth ratchet delivers fast, direct engagement for immediate power transfer during accelerations and surges.
  • Ratchet Wave Spring System – A wave spring design ensures consistent, balanced ratchet engagement, resulting in smoother operation and improved rolling efficiency.
  • CADEX Hookless Rim Technology – An optimized carbon layup and hookless rim design reduce weight while improving durability and tyre stability under high-speed loads.
  • In-Mould Carbon Graphics – CADEX logos are integrated directly into the carbon surfacefor a clean, premium finish with no decals, no added weight, and no risk of fading.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
