The fastest endurance rides demand more than outright aerodynamics. They demand efficiency that lasts hour after hour, confidence when the wind changes direction, and reliability that never becomes the limiting factor. The DT Swiss ERC 1100 DICUT 45 is engineered precisely for that purpose.
Combining a lightweight carbon rim with DT Swiss' flagship 180 hubs, ceramic bearings and Ratchet EXP freehub system, the ERC 1100 delivers WorldTour-level speed with the stability and control needed for real-world roads. Whether the route includes fast rolling terrain, exposed climbs or rough British road surfaces, the 45mm rim profile offers an exceptional balance of aerodynamic efficiency, crosswind stability and responsive handling.
Developed using DT Swiss' Aero+ philosophy, the rim profile has been optimised alongside modern 28mm tyres to reduce aerodynamic drag while maintaining predictable steering in turbulent conditions. Rather than chasing the deepest possible rim, the ERC 1100 focuses on maintaining speed over long distances with significantly less rider fatigue.
At the centre of the wheelset sits the premium DT Swiss 180 hub. Precision ceramic bearings minimise rolling resistance, while the Ratchet EXP freehub mechanism provides instant, dependable engagement with fewer moving parts for exceptional durability and simple servicing.
The hooked carbon rim is tubeless ready and built around a modern 22mm internal width, supporting today's wider performance tyres with improved cornering support, lower rolling resistance and greater rider comfort. The result is a wheelset that accelerates quickly, carries speed effortlessly and remains composed throughout long sportive rides, endurance racing and high-speed training.
For riders looking for a single premium wheelset capable of everything from Alpine sportives to fast club rides and all-day endurance events, the ERC 1100 DICUT 45 represents one of the most complete road wheelsets available.
