CADEX AR Tubeless

While it features a centerline design optimized for pavement efficiency, it is specifically engineered as a gravel tire. It will perform well on smooth roads, but if you ride exclusively on pavement, you might prefer a dedicated road tire for lower rolling resistance.

The 170 TPI (threads per inch) casing is quite supple, which allows the tire to conform better to uneven surfaces. This results in a smoother, more comfortable ride and improved traction compared to tires with a lower, stiffer thread count.

Yes, the tire features a dual-shield puncture protection system that provides bead-to-bead coverage. This design is specifically intended to guard against both tread punctures and sidewall abrasions common in mixed-terrain riding.

No, these tires are not rated for e-bike compatibility. They are designed for standard gravel bikes where weight and suppleness are prioritized over the higher load and torque demands of an electric drivetrain.

The tread uses a multi-pattern design: compact diamond-shaped knobs in the center for speed on hard surfaces, and hexagonal and trapezoidal knobs on the sides for grip when cornering on loose dirt or gravel.
