「CADEX MAX 40」ホイールシステムは、ワイドな内幅22.4mmと40mmハイトのリムを採用しても重量はわずか1249gで、クラス最高の剛性対重量比を実現しています。この超軽量で高剛性のホイールシステムのキーとなるのは、薄型エアロハブフランジにシームレスに統合された超高剛性CADEXスーパーエアロカーボンスポークです。
同カテゴリーの他社トップホイールとの比較テストでは、「CADEX MAX 40」はLightweightのObermayer EVOやSyncros Capital SLよりも、フロント、リアホイールともに大幅に剛性が優れていることがわかりました。重量剛性比においても、両競合製品よりも優れた結果を得ています。
また、22.4mmのワイドなリム内幅が、リムウォールとタイヤのサイドウォールの間にシームレスなプロファイルを作り出し、空力性能を最適化します。「CADEX MAX 40」ホイールシステムの軽量性と効率性は、今シーズン、チーム・ジェイコ・アルウラのクライマーやステ-ジレースでエースが選択するホイールとなります。
