The design incorporates an optimised combination of&nbsp;<strong>Super-light carbon spoke structures<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>tubeless-ready, hookless rims<\/strong>, which minimises drag while improving ride comfort. A distinctive feature of this model is the use of&nbsp;<strong>1K carbon fabric<\/strong>, which not only increases the strength of the rims, but also ensures lower weight than traditional designs. The 22.4 mm inner rim width supports wider tubeless tyres, contributing to better grip and less rolling resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest technological innovations is the&nbsp;<strong>Max Aero Disc spoke structure<\/strong>. The use of integrated carbon spoke flanges provides a&nbsp;<strong>higher lateral stiffness<\/strong>&nbsp;and improved power transfer without compromising on weight. Compared to its predecessor, the Max Aero Disc delivers up to&nbsp;<strong>54.3% more lateral stiffness<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>20.2% more transmission stiffness<\/strong>, which translates into more efficient power conversion when accelerating and climbing hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the&nbsp;<strong>CADEX Max Aero Disc<\/strong>&nbsp;an asymmetric tread, which improves load distribution and reduces flex during cycling. This technology increases stability, especially when riding in unpredictable conditions, such as side winds or cornering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" data-id=\"1775\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dynamic-Speed-1024x655.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dynamic-Speed-1024x655.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dynamic-Speed-300x192.webp 300w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dynamic-Speed-768x491.webp 768w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dynamic-Speed-1536x983.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Dynamic-Speed-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CADEX Aero 4-Spoke: outstanding control in variable wind conditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>CADEX Aero 4-Spoke<\/strong>&nbsp;is designed for optimal control and stability, even in challenging wind conditions. This model has a&nbsp;<strong>4-spoke configuration<\/strong>&nbsp;which is specifically designed to perform in&nbsp;<strong>crosswinds<\/strong>, making it less susceptible to crosswind distortions than other aerodynamic wheels. This makes the 4-spoke an excellent choice for both competitive riders and triathletes who regularly ride in unpredictable conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of&nbsp;<strong>50 mm front wheel<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>65 mm rear wheel<\/strong>&nbsp;not only offers an aerodynamic advantage, but also improves control during high speeds. Test results show that the&nbsp;<strong>CADEX Aero 4-Spoke<\/strong>&nbsp;a lower&nbsp;<strong>air resistance figure<\/strong>&nbsp;achieves than many competitors, especially in&nbsp;<strong>main wind<\/strong>&nbsp;and at&nbsp;<strong>wind of 20\u00b0<\/strong>. This contributes to a&nbsp;<strong>more efficient driving experience<\/strong>, especially during time trials or long triathlon sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important feature of the&nbsp;<strong>CADEX Aero 4-Spoke<\/strong>&nbsp;is the use of&nbsp;<strong>CADEX Low Friction R3-C40 hubs<\/strong>with&nbsp;<strong>ceramic bearings<\/strong>. These bearings reduce friction by 30% compared to steel bearings, increasing overall efficiency and ensuring better conversion of pedal energy into speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"1773\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Wind-Tunnel-Engineered-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Wind-Tunnel-Engineered-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Wind-Tunnel-Engineered-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Wind-Tunnel-Engineered-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Wind-Tunnel-Engineered-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advanced technologies for performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both wheel sets benefit from a range of&nbsp;<strong>advanced technologies<\/strong>&nbsp;which are aimed at improving aerodynamics, stiffness, and efficiency. The&nbsp;<strong>CADEX Aero Carbon Spokes<\/strong>&nbsp;are designed to minimise lateral flex, which is especially noticeable when accelerating and climbing. The spoke structure provides greater stability without sacrificing aerodynamic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it is&nbsp;<strong>hookless rim design<\/strong>&nbsp;of the CADEX wheels is an important innovation. It uses a wider rim width, providing better grip and more optimal contact between the tyre and the road surface, without significantly increasing weight. The design also improves airflow around the tyre, which improves aerodynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new&nbsp;<strong>CADEX Max Aero Disc<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>CADEX Aero 4-Spoke<\/strong>&nbsp;are designed for riders looking for&nbsp;<strong>maximum aerodynamic efficiency<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>excellent control in variable wind conditions<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>better power transmission<\/strong>.

The technologies applied, such as the&nbsp;<strong>integrated spoke design<\/strong>, the&nbsp;<strong>1K carbon fabric structure<\/strong>, and the&nbsp;<strong>improved ceramic bearings<\/strong>, offer significant advantages in terms of speed and stability, without compromising on durability or ride comfort.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De nieuwe wielsets van Cadex zijn ontworpen met het oog op maximale aerodynamische prestaties, effici\u00ebntie en controle.
