Cadex Race GC Tubeless Tire: Race Speed, 240 TPI & Featherweight

Born for professional riders targeting general classification in Grand Tours, the Cadex Race GC Tubeless Tire (General Classification) represents the ultimate evolution of road racing tires. Available in 700x28c and 700x30c sizes, it introduces an ultralight 240 TPI casing that brings the weight down to just 279 grams (for the 28mm version), minimizing rolling resistance while ensuring exceptional cornering grip and puncture protection on any asphalt surface.

Key Technologies of the Cadex Race GC Tubeless Tire

• Supple Race Casing (SRC) 240 TPI: The single-layer 240 threads-per-inch (TPI) thread density makes the tire extremely supple, elastic, and fast at absorbing micro-roughness in the road. It reduces energy loss from deformation and delivers the unmistakable smooth ride feel of a race tubular.

• Round Profile with Lowered Sidewalls and Micro-Profiled Shoulder: The casing geometry features lower sidewalls that reduce lateral flex when pushing out of the saddle. The fully slick center tread maximizes straight-line speed, while the pronounced shoulders with a micro-profile kick in when leaning into corners, providing a stable platform and superior mechanical cornering grip.

• High-Efficiency Silica-Based RR-S Compound: The proven proprietary CADEX RR-S compound minimizes rolling resistance and ensures consistent chemical grip whether braking hard on dry asphalt or navigating damp roads.

• Race Shield Kevlar® Puncture Protection: Positioned under the center tread is the exclusive ultralight, high-cut-resistant Race Shield Kevlar® layer, protecting against thorns, glass, and road debris without stiffening the casing.

• Carbon and Kevlar® Composite Bead: The non-stretch carbon fiber and Kevlar® folding bead securely locks the tire onto the rim bed, ensuring absolute safety at high speeds and an airtight tubeless seal.

Hookless Rim Compatibility (Giant & CADEX) for 28c and 30c

The Cadex Race GC Tubeless Tire in 700x28c and 700x30c sizes is designed to integrate seamlessly with both traditional hooked rims and all Hookless carbon wheels from CADEX (36, 42, 50 Ultra series) and Giant SLR, including wide 22.4mm and 25mm internal channel rims. Hookless rims ensure superior lateral sidewall support when cornering and an optimal aerodynamic transition between the tire and rim, while the 30mm version offers increased air volume ideal for running lower pressures on rougher roads and long distances.
