CADEX Max 50 WheelSystem: 50 mm Aero Profile & Record-Setting 1,250 g Weight

The all-new CADEX Max 50 WheelSystem carbon road wheels represent the pinnacle of high-profile road racing engineering, designed to deliver an unmatched balance of aerodynamic efficiency, torsional stiffness, and featherweight performance. Combining a deep 50 mm aero rim profile with a record-breaking weight of just 1,250 grams per pair (1,290 g with tubeless rim tape and valves installed), the CADEX Max 50 road wheelset delivers blistering top-end speed on the flats and effortless acceleration on the steepest climbs. The seamless monoblock hub-spoke-rim integration minimizes sidewind drag and converts every watt of pedaling input into pure forward momentum.

Integrated Max Monoblock System, DBL Carbon Spokes & 22.4 mm Hookless Rim

At the core of the CADEX Max 50 is a suite of structural innovations engineered to maximize responsiveness and high-speed cornering precision:

• Max Integrated Hub & Spoke System with Adjustable Titanium Nipples: The aero hub shell, flanges, and CADEX Super Aero carbon spokes are bonded into a single monolithic structure that slices through the wind and eliminates lateral flex under heavy sprint loads. Unlike traditional one-piece carbon wheels, the hidden integrated titanium nipples feature an independent internal tensioning system, allowing precise mechanical wheel truing and spoke tension tuning.
  
  
• Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) & Precision-Reinforced Layup: A wider spoke bracing angle equalizes spoke tension under dynamic pedaling forces rather than static tension, while In-Mold carbon graphics are cured directly into the rim surface—adding zero weight and eliminating decals.
  
  
• 50 mm Hookless Aero Profile with 22.4 mm Internal Width: The 22.4 mm internal rim channel (30 mm external) creates a seamless aerodynamic tire-to-rim interface with road tires from 700x25c to 700x32c, providing superior sidewall support in fast corners, a rounder contact patch, and lower rolling resistance.

CADEX R3-C48 48-Tooth (7.5°) Aero Hub & Ceramic Bearings

The rear CADEX R3-C48 aero hub features a precision-machined 48-tooth Ratchet Driver paired with a Ratchet Wave Spring, delivering ultra-fast 7.5° engagement for instantaneous power transfer. Low-friction CADEX ceramic bearings dramatically reduce bearing load, rolling 1.5 times smoother than standard steel bearings.
