Cadex Carbon Disc Road Wheels

Yes, the Cadex Ultra Carbon wheels are compatible with both tubeless and clincher tires. However, because they feature a hookless rim design, you must ensure your tires are approved for hookless use and run within the recommended pressure limits.

The hookless design creates a smoother, more continuous transition between the tire sidewall and the rim. This improves airflow for better aerodynamics and allows for a wider tire profile, which increases air volume for a more comfortable ride and better grip.

While the ceramic bearings offer low rolling resistance, they require specific maintenance procedures compared to standard steel bearings. If you are comfortable with hub maintenance, you can service them, but we recommend using a professional mechanic to ensure the ceramic races and seals are handled correctly.

The CADEX Super Aero Carbon spokes are designed to be stiffer and lighter than traditional steel spokes. This increases lateral stiffness, meaning the wheel responds more immediately when you sprint or climb, without the harshness often associated with stiff wheels.

These wheels are specifically engineered for competitive road riding. While the durable carbon layup offers good impact resistance, they are optimized for road surfaces and are not intended for gravel or off-road use.

The wheels use a standard Centerlock rotor interface. You can use any Centerlock-compatible disc rotor, provided it is sized correctly for your bike's braking system.
