DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT Rear Disc Brake Carbon Clincher Wheel 55x22mm WTS

Discover the pinnacle of performance with the DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT disc brake WTS rear wheel, designed for serious road and triathlon athletes. This 700c carbon clincher wheel combines cutting-edge aerodynamic research with expert craftsmanship, delivering an unparalleled balance of speed, stability, and reliability. Engineered with a 55 mm rim depth and 22 mm internal width, it’s optimized for 28-30mm tires, offering superior crosswind stability through its innovative hybrid V-shape rim design.

Crafted in DT Swiss’s European facility, the third-generation ARC 1100 wheels feature a proprietary carbon lay-up developed alongside Swiss Side’s Aero research team and validated in the GST wind tunnel. This ensures a lightweight yet robust construction that saves up to 158 grams per pair compared to previous models, despite a wider and deeper rim profile. The DICUT 180 hub with 36-tooth Ratchet EXP and SiNC ceramic bearings provides low drag and effortless maintenance, while premium Aerolite II spokes reduce rotational drag, maximizing your efficiency on every ride.

As a WTS (Wheel-Tyre-System), this rear wheel comes complete with DT-developed Continental Aero 111 front and GP 5000 STR rear tires, high-performance TPU tubes, tubeless rim tape, and lightweight tubeless valves, ensuring a seamless tubeless setup. The rear wheel includes Shimano Road and SRAM XDR freehubs, enhancing compatibility across your drivetrain. Backed by a lifetime warranty and a 10-year crash replacement program, the ARC 1100 is built to perform and endure.

What It’s Good For

• Maximizing aerodynamic efficiency with a hybrid V-shape rim optimized for crosswind stability
• Reducing rotational weight for faster acceleration and sustained speed thanks to advanced carbon lay-up
• Reliable, low-drag hub performance with DICUT 180 hubs and SiNC ceramic bearings
• Seamless tubeless setup facilitated by included tires, tubes, rim tape, and valves
• Compatibility with modern thru-axle standards (12 x 142 mm rear)
• Durability and peace of mind from a lifetime warranty and crash replacement program

What It’s NOT Good For

• Use outside of road or triathlon disciplines, such as mountain biking or cyclocross
• Riders who prefer narrower tires than 28-30mm, as rim width is optimized for wider tires
• Heavy off-road use where rim impacts and debris could compromise carbon integrity
• Compatibility issues with non-thru axle hubs or older freehub systems not supported by Shimano Road or SRAM XDR
