The CADEX Aero Cotton tire is designed for elite cyclists seeking high performance without sacrificing the classic road feel. With a unique 320 TPI cotton casing and a blend of modern aerodynamic advantages, this tire optimizes rolling resistance using a new RR-S2 silica compound, reportedly reducing drag by 30%. Its design resembles a mix of CADEXâs previous tire lines while offering a streamlined profile that fits well with both CADEX and other brandsâ rim designs.

Learn More After many spy shots from the classics, the "aero cotton tire" from CADEX is now hitting the shelves. The name sums up the idea and ethos of the tire. The CADEX Aero Cotton tire is a slick, high-performance road tire aimed squarely at elite (and aspiring elite) racers, TT specialists, and anyone who likes a little classic road feel with their speed. It's their first cotton-casing road tire, and while we haven't had a chance to ride it yet, the specs suggest it's chasing every aero and rolling-resistance advantage it can get.
If you're familiar with the CADEX Race, Classics, and Aero, this tire is like a mix of all three. The aforementioned are all very fast (we're very fond of the Classics in 32mm ourselves), but all max out at 170tpi. The CADEX Aero Cotton tires aren't just a tweak-this one's carved out a distinct new spot in the lineup.
CADEX isn't pushing the tech envelope with a 320 TPI cotton casing; we've seen higher tire thread counts for quite a while. Blending the ride feel of a supple, responsive, smooth tubular level casing and hookless tech. Add in the new RR-S2 silica compound, which CADEX claims reduces rolling resistance by 30% compared to their previous rubber, and you've got a tire aimed at podiums and KOMs.
