Cadex 42 Tubeless Front Wheel

Maximum versatility meets lightweight aero performance. Featuring a 42mm deep hookless rim design to maximize aerodynamics, weight and durability, as well as low-friction hubs to maintain maximum power efficiency, the CADEX 42 is the choice on a day that could end in a sprint.

The CADEX Advantage

Hookless carbon rims with custom-calibrated spokes incorporate race-proven Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) technology and offer outstanding durability and aerodynamics at a super low weight. Combined with purpose-designed hubs that significantly reduce friction to eliminate power loss, CADEX 42 wheels marry optimal versatility and speed with excellent aerodynamic performance.

Maximun Power Transfer

With our CADEX Low Friction Hub, we have reduced power loss from the very outset, and with CADEX carbon spokes assembled using Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology, the wheel possesses superior stiffness, resulting in greater transmission efficiency.

Ultra-Light Weight

Precision reinforced carbon lay-up places carbon fiber only where needed to create an exceptionally robust structure, while durable and stiff CADEX carbon spokes provide maximum performance without adding any unnecessary weight.

Optimal Aerodynamics

With the ultralight CADEX carbon spoke’s custom-designed aero shape and the hookless rim design’s optimum flow transition from the tire to the sidewall of the rim, the result is drastically diminished aerodynamic loss and maximum efficiency.

Ultimate Handling

Hookless rim design with a wide inner rim and less overall weight improves responsiveness and acceleration as precision reinforced carbon lay-up offers unparalleled stiffness for confident handling.

Technologies

Custom-Tuned DBL Technology

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

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.

CADEX Precision Reinforced Layup

CADEX precision reinforced layup places high tensile strength carbon fiber only where needed, creating a strong, stiff structure at minimal weight.

Low-Friction Hub

Precision machined internals eliminate excessive bearing load, reduce bearing friction and minimise rolling resistance.

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.
