In time for the spring classics, CADEX unleashes a treasure trove of efficiency biking equipment, starting from wheels to tires to handlebars. We’ve seen some spy pictures of the gear on the Crew Jayco AlUla within the 2024 races — Now we lastly have the complete particulars.
Over the previous 5 years, CADEX has slowly and assertively poised itself as a high-end tools provider. It’s not exactly distancing itself from its dad or mum firm, Large Bicycles, however exhibiting everybody, ‘that is NOT high-end gear OEM.’ Having tried many CADEX merchandise, they’re undoubtedly knocking on the highest parts’ door. The latest choices spherical out the all-around highway performer. With new all-around wheels with a GC race tire, a brand new do-it-all Race one-piece carbon bar/stem, and an Aero one-piece carbon bar/stem.
Let’s meet the brand new additions to the CADEX lineup.
CADEX Max 40 WheelSystem
The Max 40 Wheel System is a light-weight, aerodynamic wheelset designed for every thing the highway can throw at a rider. CADEX claims it’s lower than 1250g for the set and is now the lightest wheelset they provide.
The rim is a reasonably beneficiant (for highway) 22.4mm internal with a 40mm deep part. CADEX says the wheelset delivers best-in-class stiffness to weight. We haven’t seen the wheelset, however judging from what we all know of the model — it appears like this one has some Olympic ambitions.
The CADEX Max 40 makes use of a brand new hubset and carbon spoke design. The design workforce calls them ‘CADEX Tremendous Aero carbon spokes’ (catchy title and straight to the purpose). The spokes are seamlessly built-in into a skinny aero hub flange, contributing to up to date energy switch for the Max 40.
How does the Max 40 stack up towards the perfect in school? CADEX examined towards the Light-weight Obermayer EVO and Syncros Capital SL. CADEX claims the Max 40 exhibited considerably better entrance and rear wheel stiffness.
The Max 40 confirmed 28.4 p.c better entrance wheel stiffness than the Light-weight Obermayer EVO and was 10.3 p.c stiffer than the Syncros Capital SL. Relating to rear wheel stiffness, the Max 40 beat the Obermayer by 44.9 p.c and the Capital SL by 20.8 p.c.
The Max 40 additionally outperformed each opponents in stiffness-to-weight checks. The design workforce chalks this as much as the 22.4mm internal rim width. Paired with the all-new CADEX Race GC Tire and a speedy aerodynamic profile.
