輕快自如的起步,踩踏力量能直接傳導,衝刺的剛性也十分穩固。在奧運距離賽中,我選用 60 mm 的板高。繞圈時,每一個壓彎都能帶來穩定的操控性,並且彎後衝刺也能直接將力量轉換成速度。而在 113 半程距離賽事,我則選用 80 mm 的板高,風勢強烈時則會選擇前低後高的組合,搭配低風阻的騎姿,能明顯感受到輪組的破風效率及高速時的慣性。”
«...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!"
What do you think of the setup of @unoxteam for their first #grandtour participation in 🇫🇷?
The team will be riding the ARC 1100 DICUT wheels in different rim heights depending on the stage profile.

@danielbaekkegard has been getting race ready with an altitude training camp in Switzerland.
Only a few days to go before he mounts his ARC 1100 DICUT rear disc to go flat-out fast at @challengeroth.
Let's go !!!!

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.

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.

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.
