The Cadence AR-9 frame emerged from 240 hours in the Windshear rolling-road tunnel. Every tube profile, every junction radius, every cable routing decision was tested across a 0–20° yaw sweep. The result: a frame that costs you less power at race speed than anything at its weight class.

"Dropped 90 seconds on my Alpe d'Huez segment the first time I rode the AR-9. That's not placebo — that's 740 grams and 18% less drag."

"The C52 wheels hold speed through crosswinds in a way my old box-section alloys never could. My NP on criteriums went up 12 watts with zero extra effort."
