The DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT Carbon Clincher Rim Brake Wheelset in 62mm represents the very pinnacle of road racing wheel technology — a thoroughbred aero carbon wheelset engineered for riders who demand Grand Tour and Ironman World Championship-level performance. Developed in partnership with JP Ballard and his team at the GST wind tunnel in Immenstaad, Germany, this 700c pair combines DT Swiss's latest Aero Lite II and Aero Comp II spoke technology with the legendary Ratchet EXP hub system to deliver an unrivalled combination of aerodynamic efficiency, rotational speed, and long-term reliability. Whether you're contesting a WorldTour sprint finish or crossing the Kona finish line, the ARC 1100 DICUT is the last word in rim brake aero wheel performance.
Next-Generation Aero Spoke Technology
At the heart of the ARC 1100 DICUT's performance upgrade are the all-new Aero Lite II and Aero Comp II spokes — exclusive to the ARC 1100 range and the direct result of DT Swiss's world-leading rotational drag research programme. Measuring 28% thinner and 39% deeper than their predecessors, these proprietary bladed spokes cut through the air with significantly less resistance, reducing the rotational drag that robs watts on fast, sustained efforts. DT Swiss remains the undisputed global leader in engineering solutions for rotational aerodynamics, and the ARC 1100 DICUT is the clearest expression of that expertise.
Race-Proven Ratchet EXP Hubs with SiNC Ceramic Bearings
When wheel performance is measured in race victories and World Championship titles, only the very best components will do. The ARC 1100 DICUT is built around DT Swiss 180 hubs with the 36-tooth Ratchet EXP engagement system and SiNC ceramic bearings — the fastest, most reliable hub specification DT Swiss produces. The Ratchet EXP mechanism delivers near-instantaneous power transfer with a 10° engagement angle, while ceramic bearings reduce friction to an absolute minimum for a wheel that rolls faster and longer. Servicing is straightforward and tool-friendly, ensuring your race-day wheels are always performing at their peak.
Bespoke Rim Profile Optimised for Speed
The ARC 1100 DICUT's rim features a 17mm internal width, optimised for 23–25c tyres and fully tubeless compatible, allowing riders to run lower pressures for improved compliance and grip without sacrificing aerodynamic performance. The 62mm depth sits at the performance sweet spot — delivering meaningful aero gains across a wide range of conditions while remaining controllable in crosswinds.
