$4,500 Wheelset? CADEX Max 40 Review (Carbon Spokes, 1,249g)

The Cadex Max 40 might not be the first wheelset that comes to mind—but maybe it should be. With carbon spokes, a featherweight 1,249g system weight, and a price tag of $4,500, these wheels promise top-tier performance for serious riders. But how do they actually *feel* on the road? In this review, I break down the ride quality, design details, and what makes the Max 40s feel different—especially on bikes like the Colnago V5Rs and the Tarmac SL8. Thanks to Cadex for letting me test these wheels. They’ve quietly raised the bar—and given me a lot to think about. Let me know what wheels you’re riding in the comments—especially if you’ve tried carbon-spoked setups like these. 00:00 $4,500 Wheels?
