Cadex Max Road Wheel

Because these rims use a hookless design, you must use tubeless-ready tires and adhere strictly to the manufacturer's recommended pressure limits, which are generally lower than traditional clincher setups. Always check the tire manufacturer's specific pressure chart for hookless compatibility to ensure safety and optimal performance.

The Cadex Max 40 Disc wheels are compatible with Shimano HG 11/12-speed and SRAM XDR cassettes. You will need to ensure you have the correct freehub body installed for your specific drivetrain before mounting your cassette.

The 40mm depth is designed to balance aerodynamic efficiency with stability. It offers a noticeable aero advantage over shallower rims while remaining predictable and easy to handle in gusty crosswind conditions.

While these wheels are optimized for tubeless setups, you can use inner tubes as long as you are using tubeless-ready tires that are approved for hookless rims. However, running them tubeless is highly recommended to fully realize the performance benefits of the wider internal rim width.

By integrating the spokes directly into the hub flange, Cadex eliminates the traditional J-bend or straight-pull interface, which significantly reduces weight and aerodynamic drag. This construction also creates a stiffer wheel system that transfers power more efficiently during hard efforts.

At 1249 grams, this wheelset is exceptionally lightweight, making it an excellent choice for climbing and hilly terrain. The combination of low weight and high stiffness ensures it remains responsive and efficient regardless of the gradient.
