Cadex 50 Ultra Disc Tubeless Rear Carbon Clincher Road Wheel

AERO UNLIMITED Featuring an all-new 50mm aero rim profile and next-generation R3-C aero hubs, the CADEX 50 Ultra Disc balances supreme aerodynamic performance with stability and control in all conditions. Innovative Super Aero bladed carbon spokes further enhance efficiency and minimize weight, while ceramic bearings reduce power loss by up to 30 per cent. The wide 22.4mm inner rim width and hookless bead are optimized for high-volume tires and create a seamless interface with increased sidewall support and the ability to run lower tire pressures for improved handling and road feel. UCI & ITU Approved

Key Features:

• Wind-tunnel-proven 50mm Hookless Aero rim profile, Super Aero carbon spokes and R3-C aero hubs combine for maximum aerodynamic advantage.
• High-tensile-strength Super Aero carbon spokes minimize lateral flex for efficient acceleration and sprinting.
• Custom-tuned Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology creates a stiffer, more efficient wheel with outstanding power transfer.
• Precision machined R3-C40 aero rear hub reduces aerodynamic loss and virtually eliminates bearing load.
• Ultra-smooth, low-rolling-resistance ceramic bearings offer improved action for minimal power loss.
• Precision-reinforced lay-up technology places carbon fibre only where needed, creating a strong, stiff rim structure with an overall wheel weight of 754g.
• Hookless rim technology features a continuous carbon fibre structure with an increased rim bead width of up to 3.8mm on each side to create a rounder tire shape for superior support, grip and handling.
• Designed for today’s higher volume road tires, the 22.4mm wide inner rim width creates an increased tire contact patch, resulting in better grip and a smoother ride.

Hookless Rim Design
Provides the best flow transition from the tyre to the sidewall of the rim, resulting in reduced aerodynamic loss when compared to standard hook bead rims, and featuring a continuous carbon fibre structure enhancing overall durability.

Custom-Tuned DBL Technology
Dynamic Balanced Lacing ensures spokes are set for optimal tension when under the dynamic pedalling force versus when static, resulting in superior transmission stiffness and efficiency.

Aero Carbon Spokes
High tensile-strength CADEX aero carbon spokes minimize lateral flex for more efficient acceleration and climbing and feature a purpose-designed aero shape offering excellent aerodynamic characteristics as well as superior stability in shifting winds, all at the lightest weight possible.

CADEX R3-C40 Aero Hub
Aero optimized hub features 3rd generation CADEX Low-Friction internals with CADEX ceramic bearings and 40-tooth ratchet engagement.

CADEX Ceramic Bearings
Durable, ultra-hard ceramic bearings further increase hub rolling efficiency with lower rolling resistance and 1.5x smoother action than steel bearings.

Precision Reinforced Lay-Up
High-tensile strength carbon fibre and high Tg resin are reinforced at the most crucial points for industry-leading stiffness, ride compliance and strength with no unnecessary weight.
