Cadex Tri Frameset Review

Triathlons are some of the most competitive and intense races on the planet, and with fitness levels being equal - sometimes, it boils down to the equipment you have at hand to provide you with the advantage that you need to win.

One such example of this sort of kit, is the Cadex Tri Frameset. This is a precision piece of engineering designed at the triathlete who wants and needs an edge over their competitors.

In this post, we look at the Cadex Frameset in greater detail, as it’s one of the products that we supply online, which recieves most questions and admiring glances.

Looks, Design And Build Quality

The first thing you notice about the Cadex Tri Frameset is its design - it looks unlike any other bike that we have seen. The lightweight and ultra strong carbon fibre has been forged into something which looks brilliant - but behind every extremity in it’s design, there's logic and reason. This bike was born in a wind tunnel, every part of it is designed to reduce drag and therefore increase speed - allowing for smoother and faster rides.

A large part of the aerodynamic performance of this bike is the tube shaping, alongside its integrated cockpit. It’s been repeatedly tested, and the frame excels on flat terrains and descents, where the design makes a real difference in achievable speeds. This is a frame which is designed to get up to speed, and make it as easy as possible to stay at speed.

As you would also expect, this bike has internally routed cables - these have not only been designed to create an aerodynamic profile, but they remain easy to work on and maintain, which is essential for those out competing.

Stiffness And Compliance

As well as the design focusing heavily on aerodynamics, the bike also provides the perfect balance between stiffness and compliance. The frame offers excellent power transfers from the pedals - meaning that every pedal stroke translates to maximum forward momentum. The bike does not however jar you with every pothole or rough road surface it comes across, there’s enough compliance in the carbon fibre frame to provide a smoother ride.

Handling And Stability

The Cadex is a bike which is designed to get up to speed fast - so it’s a requirement of the frame to handle well at those speeds. The bike provides precise steering, allowing for superfast adjustments to the line you are travelling on. The bike also feels stable at high speeds too, giving you confidence to really let the bike go, and carry more speed than the competition in the corners.

Storage Solutions

The frameset comes with integrated storage options, including compartments for nutrition and also tools. These are brilliantly built into the frame, meaning that the bike again blends the lines between aerodynamic performance and usability, really well.

Adjustability

The frameset offers a number of different adjustabilities - saddle height to handlebar position, the frameset accommodates various adjustments, ensuring optimal comfort and performance for different body types and riding styles, allowing the rider to concentrate on getting the job done.
