CADEX, a prominent brand within the Giant and Liv family, has unveiled its latest innovations in high-performance cycling components: the Max 50 WheelSystem and the Aero Tyre. These additions signify a substantial enhancement to CADEX’s road product lineup, focusing on delivering exceptional speed, efficiency, and control for modern cyclists.
Max 50 WheelSystem: A Unified Approach to Aerodynamics
The Max 50 WheelSystem represents a significant advancement in CADEX’s pursuit of aerodynamic excellence. This system integrates the rim, spokes, and hub into a cohesive unit, resulting in a streamlined design that minimizes drag and maximizes power transfer. The 50mm deep carbon rims are paired with CADEX’s Super Aero carbon spokes, which are bonded directly to the carbon hub flanges. This fusion reduces turbulence at the wheel’s center and enhances overall stiffness. The Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) system further contributes to the wheel’s performance by widening the spoke bracing angle and stabilizing spoke tension under load, leading to improved transmission stiffness compared to traditional wheel configurations.

Weighing a claimed 1,290 grams, the Max 50 WheelSystem offers a balance of lightweight design and robust performance. The wide 22.4mm inner rim width optimizes tire shape and airflow integration, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency and providing greater handling stability across diverse road conditions. (bikeradar.com)
Aero Tyre: Designed for Speed and Efficiency
Complementing the Max 50 WheelSystem, CADEX introduces the Aero Tyre, engineered to further reduce rolling resistance and improve aerodynamics. The tyre features a new 240 TPI casing that decreases rolling resistance by 2.8 watts per tyre, while a ’64 micro-groove’ shoulder tread pattern reduces drag by 0.76 watts per wheel. Available in 700x28c and 700x30c sizes, the Aero Tyre is compatible with hookless rims and includes a puncture protection belt beneath the tread for enhanced durability. (bikeradar.com)
