Cadex Max 40 Disc Tubeless Wheelset

TAKE FLIGHT WITH THE LIGHTEST CADEX WHEELSYSTEM EVER CREATED.

Engineered for riders who demand uncompromising climbing efficiency and all-day speed, the CADEX MAX 40 Disc Tubeless Wheelset combines an ultra-light 40mm hookless carbon rim with fully integrated hub-and-spoke technology. Weighing just 1249 grams per pair, this WheelSystem delivers explosive acceleration, refined aerodynamics and outstanding stability for modern road racing and high-performance riding.

Super Aero bladed carbon spokes are seamlessly integrated into thin aero hub flanges to reduce drag and eliminate unnecessary weight. Dynamic Balanced Lacing positions the spokes at a wider bracing angle to stabilise tension under pedalling loads, increasing torsional stiffness and maximising power transfer when it matters most.

The 40mm deep carbon rim profile offers the ideal balance of lightweight climbing performance and aerodynamic efficiency, while the wide 22.4mm hookless inner rim width optimises tyre shape and sidewall support. The result is improved grip, smoother rolling efficiency and reduced rider fatigue across long distances. In-mould carbon surface graphics are blended directly into the rim structure for a premium finish without added weight.


KEY FEATURES

Integrated spoke, hub flange and aero hub design minimises weight while enhancing stiffness and aerodynamic efficiency.
High-tensile CADEX Super Aero carbon spokes with hidden integrated nipples reduce lateral flex for sharper acceleration and improved climbing response.
Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology widens the bracing angle to stabilise spoke tension and deliver exceptional power transfer.
