DESCRIPTION
The Max 50 WheelSystem delivers refined race-day performance through an ultralight, super-stiff aero system. At 1290g, its Max integrated hub,Super Aero carbon spokes and Dynamic Balanced Lacing optimize efficiency and power transfer for sharp acceleration and confident control.
FEATURES
- 50mm Aero Rim Profile – A deep 50mm rim profile maximizes aerodynamic efficiency, reducing drag for sustained high-speed performance in race conditions.
- Integrated Max Hub And Spoke Technology – A one-piece hub, flange, spoke, and rim structure forms a fully integrated system that minimizes drag, smooths airflow, and maximizes real-world efficiency at speed.
- Precision Reinforced Carbon Layup – High-tensile fibres are strategically placed only where needed to create a strong, torsionally stiff structure while minimizing overall weight.
- CADEX Super Aero Carbon Spokes – High-tensile integrated carbon spokes with hidden nipples and independent internal tensioning minimize lateral flex for efficient acceleration and responsive climbing.
- Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) – A wider bracing angle and balanced spoke tension under pedaling load result in a stiffer wheel with outstanding power transfer and handling precision.
- 22.4mm Inner Width – A wide 22.4mm internal rim creates a more efficient tyre profile with an increased contact patch, improving sidewall support and confident handling at speed.
- CADEX R3-C48 Aero Hub – An aerodynamic hub design with a 48-tooth ratchet delivers fast, direct engagement for immediate power transfer during accelerations and surges.
- Ratchet Wave Spring System – A wave spring design ensures consistent, balanced ratchet engagement, resulting in smoother operation and improved rolling efficiency.
- CADEX Hookless Rim Technology – An optimized carbon layup and hookless rim design reduce weight while improving durability and tyre stability under high-speed loads.
- In-Mould Carbon Graphics – CADEX logos are integrated directly into the carbon surface for a clean, premium finish with no decals, no added weight, and no risk of fading.
