One review https://bikerumor.com/first-ride-impres ... -the-road/ says Cadex 50 Ultra feels great on gravel. But Cadex's 5-year 50% crash replacement discount isn't as good as Zipp or Enve's.

I do like the Cadex, but ended up going for the 353s. The warranty is probably what did it for me. I’m sure I would’ve been just as happy with the 303 FCs, but now I won’t have the “what if” factor of wondering how much better the 353s are.

In the meantime, is there any actual aero data on the 353?

Somewhere I read that Zipp's own outdoor test data for 353 was corrupted and therefore not published, but Enve did the wind tunnel for them :lol: https://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Thi ... _8334.html

Lol, why didn’t they run it again? Is it really because they’re slower than 303S’s? Lol.

I do wonder if them using a 27c tire on the 353 in their testing affected the results, since you’re not supposed to run less than a 28 and it’s optimized for a 28.
