The latest generation of ARC 1100 DICUT wheelsets was developed in collaboration with SWISS SIDE, the leading experts in aerodynamic optimisation. The new AERO+ rim profiles are characterised by low air resistance combined with reduced steering torque: ideal for improving aerodynamics, glide performance and control, even in strong crosswinds. The wheelset is rounded off by the new DT Swiss Aero spokes in combination with the 180 DICUT Aero hub and its Ratchet EXP system, including the ultra-smooth-running SINC ceramic bearings. The high-end Aero Disc wheelset for marathon and race bikes, featuring 38mm-high and 27mm-wide full-carbon rims, allows the use of wide, excellent-rolling tubeless tyres. The asymmetrical design provides very high lateral stiffness for maximum steering precision.

DT Swiss Sinc Ceramic Bearings:

the high-end ceramic bearings from DT Swiss, specially optimised for DT Swiss hubs, offer maximum smoothness and minimal weight. In a special manufacturing process, the balls are rolled until their surface exhibits perfect roundness. Whilst the surface of conventional ceramic balls is not 100 per cent smooth, SINC Ceramic balls are extremely smooth and, thanks to their perfect roundness, achieve extremely low rolling resistance. By combining these ceramic balls with high-quality steel bearing cups, the bearings can deliver their full potential.

DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut rims:

The ARC 1100 carbon rims, developed entirely in collaboration with Swiss Side, offer excellent aerodynamics and superior handling in all wind conditions. Extensively tested and optimised in the wind tunnel, the ARC 1100 rims provide the best compromise between aerodynamics and handling. The finish is applied using a new process and does not affect aerodynamics in any way. With a 20 mm inner rim width, they are ideal for tyres from 25 mm wide and, of course, tubeless-ready.

Hooked / Crotchet tubeless TC:

‘Hooked’ or ‘Crotchet’ refers to the shape of the rim flange, which features a so-called hook. This supports the tyre bead and ensures reliable performance, even when using high tyre pressure (> 5 bar). ‘Tubeless’ means that the rim can be ridden without an inner tube, although a setup with an inner tube is also possible.

DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut spokes:

The lacing using the Nail Head System ensures that the spokes cannot twist under load, so the spokes are always at the most aerodynamically favourable angle. Flatter and lighter than all others, the DT Swiss Aerolite spoke features an aerodynamic flat profile and is extremely lightweight. On the freehub side of the Dicut wheels, the slightly heavier and even more stable DT Ärcomp spokes are fitted.
