ARC 1100 DICUT^® DB

Our friends at @standertbicycles are known for their beautiful and highly coveted metal frames. In celebration of their 10th anniversary, they recently released a very limited edition of their Triebwerk frame model. We are proudly contributing to the limited edition build with our #aero ARC 1100 DICUT 50 mm. #happybirthday 📷: @savvyv

The @sturdycycles Eimear makes no tradeoff. It offers both excellent aerodynamic performance and accommodating custom geometry. Enhancing its aerodynamic properties are our #aero ARC 1100 DICUT 80 mm and DISC wheels. Each frame from Sturdy Cycles, as well as various components such as the lock ring and crank, are individually 3D printed in titanium, requiring extensive development over many years. #craftbikedays #sturdycycles 📷: @rennradnews

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. 📷: @amber.hoadley #meticulousdevelopment #competitiveedge #engineeringperformance

Our women pro triathletes Friday with their full #aero setups: ARC 1100 DICUT 80 in the front and ARC 1100 DICUT DISC in the back. @lucycharles93 4th @imosimmonds 14th @marjooolaiine 16th 📷: @amber.hoadley

The final touch has been added to @samgolong's race setup, with a unique set of stars and stripes decals. It's the cherry on top of his new purple chrome speed concept from @trekbikes. Look for him passing by like a rocket on the bike course tomorrow. 📸: @amber.hoadley #meticulousdevelopment #engineeringperformance #ambitiouscyclist

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. 📸: @amber.hoadley #meticulousdevelopment #engineeringperformance #ambitiouscyclist

After 11 months away of racing, @lucycharles93 is back for the @worldtriathlon long distance world championships in Samorin. We wish her all the best. #ambitiouscyclist 📷: @cube.bikes

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. #engineeringperformance 📷: @gaudenzdanuser

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. 📷: @jamesmitchell5

@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. 📸: @andywearspink #ambitiouscyclist #engineeringperformance

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. #engineeringperformance 📸1-3: @lotto_soudal 📸4: @facepeeters

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? 📸1-3: @frj_sport 📸4: @lauranehabasque

The @bmcprotri powered by 2XU team prepared for the upcoming triathlon season on Lanzarote back in January. Here they got familiar with their new @ride_bmc setup including our ARC 1100 DICUT wheels, with the backdrop of the famous island and its windy conditions. 📷: @jamesmitchell5 #meticulousdevelopment #competitiveedge #bmcprotri #swimbikerun #triathlon #ironman #ironmantriathlon

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? 📷: @jamesmitchell5 #triathlon #bmcprotri #swimbikerun #ironman #ironmantriathlon

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. #engineeringperformance 📷: @jamesmitchell5 #triathlon #bmcprotri #swimbikerun
