ARC 1100 DICUT 55 Front Wheel

DT SwissARC 1100 DICUT 55 Carbon Front Wheel

The DT Swiss ARC line of cutting-edge racing wheels is already proven at the highest levels of professional road and triathlon racing. The third generation ARC 1100 DICUT WTS 55 Carbon Front Wheel builds on this legacy, using a fully proprietary carbon rim developed with the Aero research team at Swiss Side and extensively tested at the GST wind tunnel in Germany.

DT SwissARC DICUT Rim Design and Construction

The front rim features a 22 mm internal width optimised for 28-30 mm tyres in a unique hybrid V-shape, allowing deeper rims while providing superior crosswind stability compared to previous shallower designs. The construction benefits from DT’s in-house carbon manufacturing advancements, with a refined carbon lay-up and perfect ‘out of the mold’ finish requiring no additional cosmetic veneer. Every rim is internally scanned so each layer of carbon can be inspected prior to assembly, resulting in a lighter wheel than previous generations.

DT Swiss Hub and Spokes

The front wheel uses a DICUT 180 hub with SiNC ceramic bearings, offering a lightweight, simple, low-drag hub that remains as reliable and easy to service as the legendary 240. Research by DT and Swiss Side into rotational drag has produced the premium Aerolite II spokes used throughout the wheel.
