DESCRIPTION
AERO UNLIMITED Featuring an all-new 50mm aero Rim profile and next-generation R3-C aero hubs, the CADEX 50 Ultra Disc balances supreme aerodynamic performance with stability and control in all conditions. Innovative Super Aero bladed carbon spokes further enhance efficiency and minimize weight, while ceramic bearings reduce power loss by up to 30 percent. The wide 22.4mm inner rim width and hookless bead are optimized for high-volume tires and create a seamless interface with increased sidewall support and the ability to run lower tire pressures for improved handling and road feel.
FEATURES
- Wind-tunnel-proven 50mm Hookless Aero Rim Profile, Super Aero carbon spokes and R3-C aero hubs combine for maximum aerodynamic advantage.
- High-tensile-strength Super Aero carbon spokes minimize lateral flex for efficient acceleration and sprinting.
- Custom-tuned Dynamic Balanced Lacing technology creates a stiffer, more efficient wheel with outstanding power transfer.
- Precision machined R3-C40 aero rear hub reduces aerodynamic loss and virtually eliminates bearing load.
- Ultra-smooth, low-rolling-resistance ceramic bearings offer improved action for minimal power loss.
- Precision reinforced lay-up technology places carbon fiber only where needed, creating a strong, stiff rim structure with an overall wheel weight of 1349g.
- Hookless rim technology features a continuous carbon fiber structure with an increased rim bead width of up to 3.8mm on each side to create a rounder tire shape for superior support, grip and handling.
- Designed for today’s higher volume road tires, the 22.4mm wide inner rim width creates an increased tire contact patch, resulting in better grip and a smoother ride.
