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 rimstructure forms a fully integrated system that minimizes drag, smooths airflow, andmaximizes real-world efficiency at speed.
  • Precision Reinforced Carbon Layup – High-tensile fibers are strategically placed onlywhere needed to create a strong, torsionally stiff structure while minimizing overallweight.
  • CADEX Super Aero Carbon Spokes – High-tensile integrated carbon spokes with hiddennipples and independent internal tensioning minimize lateral flex for efficient accelerationand responsive climbing.
  • Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) – A wider bracing angle and balanced spoke tensionunder pedaling load result in a stiffer wheel with outstanding power transfer andhandling precision.
  • 22.4mm Inner Width – A wide 22.4mm internal rim creates a more efficient tire profilewith an increased contact patch, improving sidewall support and confident handling atspeed.
  • CADEX R3-C48 Aero Hub – An aerodynamic hub design with a 48-tooth ratchet deliversfast, direct engagement for immediate power transfer during accelerations and surges.
  • Ratchet Wave Spring System – A wave spring design ensures consistent, balancedratchet engagement, resulting in smoother operation and improved rolling efficiency.
  • CADEX Hookless Rim Technology – An optimized carbon layup and hookless rim designreduce weight while improving durability and tire stability under high-speed loads.
  • In-Mold 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.

Intended Usage

Technologies

CADEX Super Aero Carbon Spokes

Ultra-lightweight high tensile-strength CADEX aero carbon spokes minimize 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

A broad inner rim width and durable continuous carbon fiber structure create a rounder tire 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 fiber 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 pedaling 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-mold Carbon Surface Graphic Technology

Advanced carbon molding technology allows fine rim surface finishing treatment directly within the mold, elminating the need for additional carbon treatment or decals.
