The latest generation of ARC 1100 DICUT wheels – available in disc brake
version in three different rim heights 80 mm, 62 mm and 50 mm – was
developed in cooperation with SWISS SIDE, leading expert in aerodynamic
optimization. Consequently, the new AERO+ rim profile minimizes both
aero drag and steering moment to improve its aerodynamic and controlling
in even strong cross wind. Thus, it makes it easier for the rider to
keep the aero wheel under control while taking advantage of the
forward-pushing sailing effect. The wheel setup is completed by the new
DT Swiss aero spokes in combination with the sleek 180 DICUT hub
including ultra-light running SINC ceramic bearings.
ARC 1100 DICUT 80: The sophisticated wheelset in the quest for
best times on flat to slightly undulating courses.
ARC 1100 DICUT 62: The all-round aero wheelset with excellent
performance for various riding fields.
ARC 1100 DICUT 50: The most agile and fast accelerating wheelset
for hilly or flat courses with sharp turns.

Developed with a holistic approach to optimize one single thing: being faster!
technology
We believe in the art of engineering and strive for sophistication in the product development process. Our guiding idea is to constantly push barriers with our inhouse developed technologies.
Experience the speed of the fastest ARC Aero wheels in Zwift: The ARC 1100 DICUT DISC rear wheel is available in the “Drop Shop”. In combination with the ARC 1100 DICUT 80 front wheel, this wheelset will lead you to new PB in the game on flat and slightly undulating courses and segments – just like in the real world.
Design & Innovation Award 2021 Winner
With the ARC 1100 DICUT 62 wheelset, DT Swiss set themselves an ambitious goal: to push aerodynamic wheels to the next level. […] Things get interesting on the road: the ARC 1100 DICUT 62 wheels shine with incredible acceleration that sets a new benchmark for aero wheels […] The ARC 1100 DICUT 62 wheels show their crowning glory in side winds. Despite the 62 mm depth, the wheels remain unperturbed, allowing the rider to stay in their rhythm and concentrate completely on the ride. The jury was unanimous: next level achieved!

«DT Swiss wheels have changed my ride experience. I feel more freedom and speed of movement with the wheels underneath me than I ever have before. The wheels accelerate and allow me to surge at will. The stiffness is unmatched. Finally, the sound of the 180 hub makes me excited to get enough speed to freewheel!»

«A perfect wheelset for an Ironman, especially for the Ironman in Kona, must be both fast and stable. Stability is just as important: if you can't handle the crosswind, you won't be fast.»
Anne Haug
«An ideal wheelset for an Ironman must be aerodynamic and fast. Since the wheel is more controllable and stable in crosswinds, I can now ride a higher rim height, which I used to struggle with.»

«...Based on the results of our time in the wind tunnel, if you are looking to buy a new set of mid-section wheels and aerodynamics matters most, then you should be looking at these.»
by Philipp Schwab
«The new DT Swiss wheels are a lot of fun and revealed no weaknesses during the course of our test. Whether accelerating out of a corner or from a standstill, in an aerodynamic position on flat terrain or with crosswinds, the new ARC 1100 wheels excel in every situation and should help you set new record times!»

«The ARC 1100 DBs are at the expensive end of the market, but if you want speed and a weight low enough you can use them on all terrains, they're hard to ignore. The overall build quality is top notch too.»

That's a wrap on the 2022 IM 70.3 World championship in St. George USA.
Our #aero lineup, designed and engineered in Switzerland but ridden all around the world.
It has become a triathlete favorite, and we are happy seeing so many of you ridding it on the bike course.
Congrats to every #ambiticiouscyclist for leaving everything on the race course.

Thanks to the meticulous work of our DT Swiss USA tech support, unique decals have been carefully placed on the racing wheels of our professional triathletes for the 2022 70.3 World Championships this weekend.
Let us know who you will be rooting for by sharing your favorite athlete's flag in the comments below.

During the past months we have been to the wind tunnel with some of our triathletes.
On top of the aero optimization of our ARC 1100 DICUT wheels, we are able to work on the optimization of the whole system.
Through a series of tests we are seeking for the smallest CdA values, adjusting the riders positions, cockpit setup, and much more.
We are looking forward to see them perform at the @thecollinscuptri this weekend.

Catch me if you can... @tri.anne.haug is the #ironman World Championship defending champion.
We took the chance to ask her few questions in her final days of preparation:
For training she uses the P 1800 SPLINE. She describes them as "reliable, durable, stiff and just made for the daily training". On her choice for competition she says the following: "I choose my setup of ARC 1100 DICUT depending on the demands of the race course and weather conditions". Which means for St. George, "I will use the ARC 1100 DICUT 50 mm in front. It's the lightest and is easy to control. In the back I will decide on the day depending on wind conditions if I pick the disc wheel or the 80 mm. But if it's safe enough to ride a disc, I will choose it because of aerodynamic aspects."
After the intense training blocks, we wanted to know her program for the days leading up to race day. "The last week is all about getting ready for the race. Recover from the hard training and prepare mentally for the race."
To finish we wanted to know her goal for the race. Her answer: "I want to show my best performance possible."
Are you as excited as we are to see the performances tomorrow? Stay tuned.

@samgolong aka The Big Unit... After a promising 2nd place at the #ironmantri 70.3 World Championship in St. George last year, he is back in Utah for his first full distance World Championship.
Our setup of ARC 1100 DICUT 80 & DISC wheels, specially checked by the DT Swiss team at the Ironman village, will be supporting his @trekbikes Speed Concept on the bike course.
In his words, "DT Swiss wheels have changed my ride experience. I feel more freedom and speed of movement with the wheels underneath me than I ever have before. The wheels accelerate and allow me to surge at will. The stiffness is unmatched. Finally, the sound of the 180 hub makes me excited to get enough speed to freewheel!"
We are excited to see him perform on Saturday and hope he will make the sound of the 180 hubs resonate in the red hills of St. George.

Team work makes the dream work... For @lotto_soudal every single #ambitiouscyclist plays their role in the team's performance.
To place them in the best possible position, it is important that the riders can have full faith in their equipment, so that they can focus on the race plan and strategy.
They use two different setups: the ARC 1100 DICUT for the majority of their races, and the ERC 1100 DICUT for rougher roads, such as the one of @parisroubaixcourse.
The latter with its increased inner width allows for broader tires which can be inflated at a lower pressure. The result is more shock absorption while ensuring strong grip and traction.

A huge part of professional road cycling is the staff of the pro teams. Today we would like to put the men behind the scenes of the @bbhotels_ktm team on the front stage.
They are the ones responsible for fine tuning the riders' setups according to the unique conditions of each race, so that our wheels can provide the #competitiveedge for which they have been meticulously developed.
This is especially important during the spring classics season with its rough conditions.
Are you ready for the @classiquesardennes this week?

Triathlon being typically an individual sport, it is great to see what the @bmcprotri team has managed to build together. Whether during training camps or at races, the support of a team is incredibly valuable.
@katr_matthews started her season in the best manner with a win at the #ironman703lanzarote. With the fastest bike split, we were happy to see the ARC 1100 DICUT wheels help her achieve her ambitions. #engineeringperformance
We are excited to see where they will perform next. What's your guess?

The upcoming season for @bmcprotri is going to be long and intense. To get the full #competitiveedge from our ARC 1100 DICUT wheels, it is important to take good care of them.
The athletes are lucky to be surrounded by a great team that allows them to focus only on their performances. But maintenance is important for every #ambitiouscyclist.
Have you already seen the maintenance tutorial for our Ratchet EXP hubs? Link in bio.
