POWER FROM T1. FRESH LEGS AT T2.
"You don’t just ride faster. You arrive better. That’s Transition Performance."
Rico Bogen
Rico was the first top-10 professional triathlete to race in our shoes when he joined in 2024. Since then he's become the fastest biker in T100 and claimed the victory in San Francisco. In 2026, he'll line up for his first full-distance triathlon at Challenge Roth — in Cádomotus.
Sam Long
Sam debuted in Cádomotus at IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside in March 2026 — and immediately set the bike course record. Three-time Ironman champion, known as one of the most powerful riders in the sport. Stronger than ever in 2026.

Triathlon Performance Gear: Trusted by Champions
Cádomotus: The Only Dedicated Triathlon Shoe Brand in the World
Cádomotus is the only brand that designs cycling shoes exclusively around the demands of triathlon — not road cycling adapted for tri, but purpose-built from the sole up. Our CarbonShell™ technology, developed over 25 years in elite speed skating, produces soles that are 4× stiffer and 3 mm thinner than conventional flat carbon. The result: lower stack height, more direct power transfer, and — critically — fresher legs when you start the run.
That last point is what sets us apart. Most cycling shoe brands optimize for the bike. We optimize for what comes after it. A lower stack height reduces the lever arm on your ankle and calf muscles during every pedal stroke, saving the muscle groups you need most for the marathon. Wind tunnel testing at the Eddy Merckx Velodrome confirmed aerodynamic savings of 3–9 watts over conventional triathlon shoes — watts you don't have to produce, and energy your legs keep for the run.
Engineered for Transition Performance
Everything we make is designed around the reality of triathlon: wet feet, fast mounts, long days, and a run that decides the race. Our Chronos Aero and Worldcup cycling shoes feature single-closure systems for sub-second transitions, heat-moldable carbon shells for a custom fit without compromise, and a Wahoo Speedplay direct-mount option that achieves the lowest pedal stack height in the sport — just 8.5 mm from spindle to foot. Not sure which shoe fits you best? Use our Volumental foot scan for a data-driven size recommendation, or ask CadoWiki Live!, our AI engineering assistant, any question about fit, tech, or race setup.
Proven by Champions, Built in Europe
Ironman 70.3 World Champion Rico Bogen, Ironman Kona top-5 finisher Menno Koolhaas, and Dutch national record holder Marlene de Boer all race in Cádomotus. Their results speak for the engineering: when athletes describe the shoe as eliminating calf soreness and converting every watt into speed, that's the CarbonShell™ doing exactly what it was designed to do.
A Complete Race System
Beyond shoes, we build the gear that supports your entire race day. Aero helmets with magnetic visors for instant transitions. Transition bags with dedicated compartments that keep clean and dirty gear separated. Performance socks matched to our shoe designs. Every product connects — because in triathlon, your equipment is a system, and every interface between components is either gaining or losing you time.
