In time for the spring classics, CADEX unleashes a treasure trove of efficiency biking package, starting from wheels to tires to handlebars. We’ve seen some spy pictures of the gear on the Staff Jayco AlUla within the 2024 races — Now we lastly have the complete particulars.
Over the previous 5 years, CADEX has slowly and assertively poised itself as a high-end gear provider. It isn’t exactly distancing itself from its mother or father firm, Big Bicycles, however exhibiting everybody, ‘that is NOT high-end gear OEM.’ Having tried many CADEX merchandise, they’re undoubtedly knocking on the highest elements’ door. The latest choices spherical out the all-around street performer. With new all-around wheels with a GC race tire, a brand new do-it-all Race one-piece carbon bar/stem, and an Aero one-piece carbon bar/stem.
Let’s meet the brand new additions to the CADEX lineup.

The CADEX Max 40 makes use of a brand new hubset and carbon spoke design. The design group calls them ‘CADEX Tremendous Aero carbon spokes’ (catchy title and straight to the purpose). The spokes are seamlessly built-in into a skinny aero hub flange, contributing to up to date energy switch for the Max 40.
How does the Max 40 stack up towards the very best at school? CADEX examined towards the Light-weight Obermayer EVO and Syncros Capital SL. CADEX claims the Max 40 exhibited considerably larger entrance and rear wheel stiffness.
The Max 40 confirmed 28.4 p.c larger entrance wheel stiffness than the Light-weight Obermayer EVO and was 10.3 p.c stiffer than the Syncros Capital SL. Concerning rear wheel stiffness, the Max 40 beat the Obermayer by 44.9 p.c and the Capital SL by 20.8 p.c.
