CADEX AR 35 Disc Tubeless

A hookless bead and precision reinforced carbon layup create an exceptionally strong structure with best-in-class weight. A 25mm inner rim width produces a more uniform tire shape and better handling. The innovative 60-tooth ratchet freehub and ultrasmooth ceramic bearings deliver a responsive feel, while high-tensile-strength carbon spokes and Dynamic Balanced Lacing boost lateral stiffness. It all adds up to class-leading speed, efficiency and durability for superior all-road performance.

Features

  • Hookless rim technology offers XC-level impact resistance by providing a more consistent carbon fiber structure at the rim wall. It also creates a
    rounder tyre shape for better grip and sidewall support when cornering.
  • Precision reinforced carbon lay-up places carbon fiber only where needed, creating a super strong and lightweight rim.
  • 25mm inner width and hookless rim construction offer a shorter, wider tyre contact patch for reduced power loss and increased impact absorption.
  • A wide inner width supports higher volume 28–45mm road and gravel tyres, allowing lower tire pressures and more confident handling.
  • High-tensile-strength, ultralight CADEX carbon spokes and precision reinforced carbon lay-up combine for class-leading stiffness-to-weight.
  • Custom tuned Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) technology sets spokes at a wider bracing angle and evens out tension under pedaling force, producing
    a stiffer, more efficient wheel with outstanding power transfer.
  • CADEX ceramic bearings offer 1.5x smoother action than steel.
  • Lightweight CADEX R2-C60 hub with R-Drive features a DLC 60-tooth ratchet driver, durable flat spring and redesigned dust cover for instant engagement and long-lasting efficiency.
  • Integrated front hub design reinforces axle support and eliminates play by replacing end cap, bearing and bushing interface with an integrated
    axle running the length of the hub.

Intended Usage

Technologies

Hookless Rim Design

Provides the best flow transition from the tyre to the sidewall of the rim, resulting in reduced aerodynamic loss when compared to standard hook bead rims, and featuring a continuous carbon fibre structure enhancing overall durability.

Aero Carbon Spokes

High tensile-strength CADEX aero carbon spokes minimize lateral flex for more efficient acceleration and climbing and feature a purpose designed aero shape offering excellent aerodynamic characteristics as well as superior stability in shifting winds, all at the lightest weight possible.

Custom-Tuned DBL Technology

Dynamic Balanced Lacing ensures spokes are set for optimal tension when under dynamic pedalling force versus when static, resulting in superior transmission stiffness and efficiency.

CADEX R-Drive Freehub System

With anodized hub internals to enhance durability and a redesigned anti-dust cover for maximum longevity, the R-Drive Freehub System offers a high-engagement ratchet and optimized flat spring design for immediate, efficient power transmission and uncompromising reliability.

CADEX Integrated-Axle Front Hub

An integrated front hub design reinforces axle support and eliminates play by replacing the standard end cap, bearing and bushing interface with an integrated axle running the length of the hub. This increases thru-axle support and boosts the lateral stiffness of the entire structure.

Precision Reinforced Lay-Up

High-tensile strength carbon fibre and high Tg resin is reinforced at the most crucial points for industry-leading stiffness, ride compliance and strength with no unnecessary weight.
