Cadex Tri Bike 2023 I Kristian Blummenfelt I SUB 7 World Record I World Champion 70.3 2022 I Giant

For this Dream Build / Probike Build we visited Giant Germany. Andreas Wolny who assembles the Cadex Tri Bike in this video is for many years at Giant responsible for the technical support of professional teams and individual top athletes. Andreas Wolny led the development of the Cadex Tri. In this video he assembles a Cadex Tri for Kristian Blummenfelt, of course in special custom paint just for the ironman world record holder.

The Cadex Tri Bike is a no-compromise triathlon machine. The radical monocoque construction opens up a new level of aero efficiency. Every tube, every angle and all components are designed and matched to achieve best aerodynamic performance.
Both nutrition and fluid can be stowed and accessed in the down tube without leaving the optimal riding position. The large volume hydration reservoir in the upper part of the down tube is connected to an extended drinking tube in the stem.

So that every athlete finds its ideal seat position and can achieve maximum performance on long distances the Giant Cadex Tri offers countless adjustment options that can be implemented quickly and easily.

Für dieses Dream Build / Probike Build besuchten wir Giant Deutschland. Andreas Wolny der das Fahrrad in diesem Video montiert bei Giant ist seit vielen Jahren bei Giant zuständig für die technische Betreuung der Profi Teams und einzelner Top Athleten. Andreas Wolny leitete die Entwicklung des Cades Tri. In diesem Video baut er ein Cadex Tri für Kristian Blummenfelt auf, natürlich in Sonderlackierung nur für den Ironman Weltrekordhalter.

Das Cadex Tri Bike ist eine kompromisslose Triathlonmaschine. Die radikale Monocoque Konstruktion eröffnet ein neues Level der Aero Effizienz. Jedes Rohr und jeder Winkel alle Bauteile sind so konstruiert und aufeinander abgestimmt, dass best aerodynamische Leistung erzielt wird.
Im Unterrohr kann sowohl Ernährung wie auch Flüssigkeit verstaut und erreicht werden ohne die optimale Fahrposition zu verlassen. Der großvolumige Trinkbehälter im oberen Teil des Unterrohr ist mit einem verlängerten Trinkschlauch im Vorbau verbunden.

Damit jeder Athlet seine Optimale Sitzposition findet und auf lange Distanzen maximale Leistung erzielen kann bietet das Giant Cadex Tri unzählige Anpassungsmöglichkeiten die schnell und einfach umgesetzt werden können.

I’m a proud owner of the cadex tri with the exact same setup and this bike is FAST! Thanks for the video! Gave me a deeper appreciation to my mechanics as well as the engineering prowess behind this rig! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[Twistedsoul]

I love the quote near the stem, the bike itself is just a masterpiece ✨️

[JWH.Design]

It reminds me a lot of those app rental bikes that you find in the nearest hedge

[CupheadAleks]

That cable routing looks like the nightmare of all nightmares

[Ergustavinho]

If seen a lot of BikeBuild videos but damm ist that bike a pain in the ass to build. #godsavethemechanic

[vongdong]

God I love tri bikes. Some wild stuff out there

[gabeh]

Thank you for doing all of the weigh-ins at once in the beginning so they're easier to skip :)

[subriotech]

What an incredible machine!!!! It was super inspiring to see the cleanliness of the workshop, attention to detail, and the design nuances of the bike. Not to mention the meticulousness of Andreas and the lovely background music. You have a new subscriber!!!

[jascollinscork]

Unreal looking bike…. Soo radical but that’s what makes it super fast 😍😍😍 fairly heavy though 😬 would like to see it against a pro road TT bike and rider 🤔😃

[proximityroars]

I literally can’t believe you were able to build that bike, truly amazing bike and athlete

[laurenceramos]

never have i ever thought i would see a TT bike look similar to a downhill bike

[alexmalone]

I don't see a frame like this 😁that very cool 😇

[TheFred]

Superbe montage, à l intérieur de l atelier du siège Giant

[Broccchedd]

I can build mtbs all day but looking at this makes me dizzy, good work sir

[fgoehner]

I would have no idea on how to pack this bike for travelling. What a nightmare to put together

[strshooter-talk]

Just ordered a frameset…what is the correct size of the BB that I need to get. Still waiting to get the frame sent. Would like to have everything on hand. Great video! I’ve prob watched it 100 times! For reference I will be using sram drivetrain. Red components with dub crankset

[jacksmaavik]

it is something, no one ever needed...

[lauig]

There's so many details i absolutely love about this bike and just as many I absolutely hate !
It's perfect in so many areas and so bad in others, and why, oh why if you're gonna design some kind of a nod to Mike Burrows TT bikes of old would you have it look in the end like a city rental ebike ?...

[Rodienri]

Beautiful bike! But it looks like a pain to pack for travel and races!
