CADEX Max 50 Wheelsystem |

Max 50 represents the ultimate expression of CADEX performance engineering, combining exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, high stiffness, and ultralight weight. The integrated CADEX Max hub and spoke system is paired with Super Aero carbon spokes to transfer power efficiently and cut through the air with minimal drag as Dynamic Balanced Lacing delivers precise handling and an exceptionally responsive ride feel. The system is completed by a refined hookless rim design and precision-reinforced carbon lay-up that enhance efficiency, durability, and control. At just 1290g, the Max 50 doesn’t simply go faster—it raises the standard for real-world racing performance.

SYSTEM-LEVEL AERO DESIGN

By integrating spokes, hub flange, and aero hub design as a single system, Max 50 delivers a measurable aerodynamic advantage in real-world conditions. An optimized 50mm rim depth, Super Aero carbon bladed spokes, and ultra-thin aero hub flanges reduce turbulence at the center of the wheel, cutting drag by an additional 2.18 watts compared to the CADEX Ultra 50. A hookless 22.4mm inner rim width further smooths airflow over the tire, improving aerodynamic efficiency across a broad range of yaw angles.

INSTANT POWER

Max 50 elevates transmission efficiency by combining a fully integrated spoke–hub system and Dynamic Balanced Lacing that increases spoke bracing angles and equalizes spoke tension under load. Outstanding lateral stiffness remains on par with Ultra 50, while transmission stiffness improves by 5.4%, delivering sharper acceleration, greater stability, and immediate response.

ULTIMATE EFFICIENCY

CADEX Super Aero carbon spokes with hidden titanium nipples reduce weight and limit lateral flex for more direct power delivery. At just 1290g, Max 50 improves lateral stiffness-to-weight by 3.2% and rear-wheel transmission stiffness-to-weight by 14.3% compared to Ultra 50, maximizing speed from every watt. The Max integrated hub system and R3-C48 hub with wave spring further preserve efficiency, ensuring all pedaling input reaches the road.

Technologies

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
