Description
The DT SWISS ARC 1100 DICUT WTS 55 wheelset represents the pinnacle of aerodynamics and performance for demanding riders. With a 55 mm-deep rim and a 22 mm internal width, it is perfectly compatible with the 29 mm AERO 111 tyre, reducing air resistance while ensuring remarkable stability at high speeds.
Developed in collaboration with the aerodynamics experts at SWISS SIDE, the wheel features the AERO+ rim profile, which reduces drag and steering torque. The result is optimal control even in windy conditions and maximum propulsion efficiency.
The V-shaped rim plays a key role in reducing frontal drag. It offsets the increase in frontal area caused by the wider internal width, improving overall aerodynamic performance. This design also keeps steering torque low, providing a smooth handling feel even in crosswinds or at extreme yaw angles.
Available in a Tubeless Ready (Center Lock) version, the ARC 1100 DICUT comes in a WTS (Wheel-Tire System) configuration optimised for aerodynamics. It comes fitted with a 30 mm Continental GP 5000 STR rear tyre and a 29 mm AERO 111 front tyre. The seamlessly integrated AERO 111 tyre reduces aerodynamic drag while providing predictable, stable handling — a valuable advantage in sprints or fast descents. The "sailing effect", where the wind becomes an advantage, is harnessed here to improve speed without compromising handling.
The 55 mm version is also ideal for versatile riders seeking speed across different types of terrain without sacrificing climbing ability. DT Swiss also offers 38 mm, 65 mm and 85 mm versions to suit every riding style, from rolling routes to flat time trials.
It features new DT Swiss Aero spokes, a streamlined 180 DICUT hub and SINC Ceramic bearings for exceptional smoothness.
In short, the ARC 1100 DICUT WTS 55 wheels combine optimised width, an advanced aerodynamic profile and outstanding stability. They are a high-end choice for riders seeking performance, comfort and control in all conditions.
