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 WTS, Wheel Tire System:

When Swiss Side’s aerodynamic expertise, Continental’s tyre know-how and DT Swiss’s wheel expertise come together, the result is not just the AERO 111 tyre, but a perfected storm. Specially designed aero chambers form the basis for the tyre’s patented tread pattern and generate a turbulent airflow on the surface, which keeps the oncoming air flowing along the rim shape for longer. The result is an optimisation of the sail effect, which delays early flow separation from the rim and thus forms the basis for the most advanced aero wheel-tyre system. It doesn’t matter whether you or your friends are aiming for personal bests or competing in professional races: the tyre reduces wind resistance whilst improving handling and ride characteristics, propelling you forward.

Conti AERO 111 tyres:

The next generation of aerodynamic road bike tyre performance, developed in close collaboration with the experts at DT Swiss and Swiss Side. The AERO 111 is based on the race-proven technologies of the GP5000 TR series and sets new standards in aerodynamics. The race-optimised Black Chili Compound ensures excellent grip and lower rolling resistance, whilst the proven Vectran Breaker provides puncture protection. The patented, aerodynamically optimised tread design features 48 precision-moulded air chambers. These so-called ‘vortex generators’ create controlled turbulence, causing the airflow to cling to the rim for longer, which reduces drag and optimises handling in crosswinds.

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 exhibit extremely high smoothness and, thanks to their perfect roundness, achieve extremely low rolling resistance. By combining these ceramic balls with high-quality steel bearing cups, the full potential of the bearings can be realised.

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.

Compatible end caps for DT Swiss Disc Aero Dicut front wheels with 17 mm axle:

• Quick-release mounting 9x100 mm, Part No: HWGXXX0000051S
• Thru-axle mounting 12x100 mm, Item No: H24DACDXR24SO7826W
