The lightest way up
Our lightest Aero wheels (yet) now with carbon spokes.
On your way to new summits, when oxygen grows scarce, the new ARC 38 wheels with carbon spokes will be your greatest ally. The carbon composition of the spokes and the rims made with our PURE carbon technology shave off essential grams to assist your ascent. Equipped with the AERO 111 tire in the front for the optimal Wheel Tire System (WTS) it will ensure speed and confidence, for fast uphills and downhills. Coming in under 1200 g, these wheels are your lightest way up, yet they are built to conquer the toughest climbs.
Aero Carbon Spokes
Spokes have been at the heart of DT Swiss since day 1. The first wheel of our portfolio being laced on carbon blades is a pretty big milestone. It can count on the same meticulous hand assembly of our wheel builders, while bringing weight savings and enhanced stiffness.
The rim
The 38 mm high rim is manufactured in-house, thanks to our PURE carbon technology. This enables us to reduce the weight, helping you to achieve a faster ascent time. The aero-optimized profile will propel you forward on comfortable low-gradient climbs.
WHEEL TIRE SYSTEM (WTS)
Providing you with the fastest climbing wheel tire system, the wheels will be mounted with our WTS Technology: the AERO 111 26 mm in the front and Continental GP 5000 STR 28 mm in the back. Providing an optimal combination of Speed and Grip, for fast ascents as well as descents in confidence.
A joint project
for the love of alpine riding
As a tribute to these iconic climbs, a unique bike is ready to conquer new heights. The project culminated with an exclusive showcase at the Rouleur Live Show in London, where riders, media, and cycling enthusiasts discover how innovation and alpine heritage meet to create your lightest way up.
