Wheelset
CADEX Max 50 WheelSystem
CADEX's lightest aero road wheelset, with 50 mm hookless rims whose carbon spokes are bonded straight into a one-piece hub and rim structure. The 22.4 mm internal width suits 25-32 mm tubeless tyres, and the rear R3-C48 hub uses a 48-tooth ratchet. At 1,250 g a pair it targets riders who want aero and climbing performance in one wheel.
Fitted to 3 builds across 2 bikes in the database.
