DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut 55 Carbon Disc Tubeless Ready WTS front wheel
Being a leader is not for the faint of heart. The third generation ARC reaches a new level of innovation: greater inner rim width, now 22 mm ideal for wider tires, and better grip and comfort. You will thus be able to pedal at higher speeds, longer. Three different rim heights, 55, 65, 85 mm, with a V-shape section that allows for a widened inner channel without compromising either aerodynamics or weight. With a 38 mm high rim, the perfect combination of great lightness and aerodynamic optimization, ARC 1100 DICUT 38 wheels remain the ultimate climbing wheels. The top-of-the-line 180 DICUT hub with Ratchet EXP system, SINC ceramic bearings, and DT Aerolite II spokes are the definitive and indispensable ingredients for crossing the finish line first. Join our mission to improve, give it your all and always be one step ahead. Leadership is not given as a gift, it is conquered. Conquer the overall lead: these wheels offer excellent aerodynamic performance and great handling. And thanks to their low weight, they are ready to tackle even the toughest climbs.
Inner rim width greater
The 22 mm inner rim width is ideal for mounting wide tires (28 to 30 mm) for greater comfort.
Carbon rim with V-shape
The new rim shape develops a smaller frontal area resulting in decreased aerodynamic drag.
Aero WTS
Now available as a complete aerodynamic wheel system (WTS) with new AERO 111 front tire.
Aero Spokes
Our latest generation of spokes, DT Aerolite II spokes, ga-rant low aerodynamic resistance to rotation and translation.
Hub
New 180 DICUT hubs with low-friction SINC Ceramic bearings.

Technologies
WTS technology
Optimization of wheel and tire as a complete system, to be even faster. While already offering some of the fastest wheels on the market, the next step was to start considering wheel and tire as a complete system: the Wheel Tire System (WTS). With AERO 111 we developed the ideal front tire tailored to our rims, taking aerodynamic optimization to the next level.
Aero+
The perfect symbiosis of resistance, handling and efficiency. Translational drag is the aerodynamic force that slows the rider in the direction of travel. This force depends on the cyclist's frontal impact surface (75%), the road bike and its components (25%), and speed. To minimize translational drag, the impact surface area of the cyclist/bike assembly should be limited, optimizing its aerodynamics as much as possible.
SINC ceramic technology
These ball bearings were developed by DT Swiss to minimize rolling resistance. The balls are made of silicon nitride (Si3N4), an extremely hard ceramic material that is resistant to wear and corrosion. In combination with steel alloy rings, the hardened ceramic balls provide smoother operation over time and faster run-in than conventional steel bearings.
At DT Swiss, we believe that it's the details that make the difference. And SINC ceramic ball bearings are based precisely on attention to the smallest details.

Tubeless Technology
All DT Swiss wheels are compatible with tubeless technology, and ASM versions are tubeless-ready, equipped with tubeless tape and valves.
