AERO EVOLVED

The Max 50 WheelSystem delivers refined race-day performance throughan ultralight, super-stiff aero system. At 1290g, its Max integrated hub,Super Aero carbon spokes and Dynamic Balanced Lacing optimizeefficiency and power transfer for sharp acceleration and confident control.

Features

  • 50mm Aero Rim Profile – A deep 50mm rim profile maximizes aerodynamic efficiency,reducing drag for sustained high-speed performance in race conditions.
  • Integrated Max Hub And Spoke Technology – A one-piece hub, flange, spoke, and rimstructure forms a fully integrated system that minimizes drag, smooths airflow, andmaximizes real-world efficiency at speed.
  • Precision Reinforced Carbon Layup – High-tensile fibers are strategically placed onlywhere needed to create a strong, torsionally stiff structure while minimizing overallweight.
  • CADEX Super Aero Carbon Spokes – High-tensile integrated carbon spokes with hiddennipples and independent internal tensioning minimize lateral flex for efficient accelerationand responsive climbing.
  • Dynamic Balanced Lacing (DBL) – A wider bracing angle and balanced spoke tensionunder pedaling load result in a stiffer wheel with outstanding power transfer andhandling precision.
  • 22.4mm Inner Width – A wide 22.4mm internal rim creates a more efficient tire profilewith an increased contact patch, improving sidewall support and confident handling atspeed.
  • CADEX R3-C48 Aero Hub – An aerodynamic hub design with a 48-tooth ratchet deliversfast, direct engagement for immediate power transfer during accelerations and surges.
  • Ratchet Wave Spring System – A wave spring design ensures consistent, balancedratchet engagement, resulting in smoother operation and improved rolling efficiency.
  • CADEX Hookless Rim Technology – An optimized carbon layup and hookless rim designreduce weight while improving durability and tire stability under high-speed loads.
  • In-Mold Carbon Graphics – CADEX logos are integrated directly into the carbon surfacefor a clean, premium finish with no decals, no added weight, and no risk of fading.
