DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT Front Disc Brake Carbon Clincher Wheel 65x22mm WTS with Tire

The DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT disc brake WTS wheelset redefines performance with its third-generation carbon clincher rim measuring 65 x 22 mm, designed explicitly for front wheel use. Crafted in DT Swiss’s European facility, this wheelset combines cutting-edge technology and aerodynamic innovation, developed alongside Swiss Side's Aero research team and rigorously tested in the GST wind tunnel. Its unique hybrid V-shaped rim optimizes compatibility with 28-30mm tires, delivering exceptional crosswind stability and enhanced handling compared to previous models.

Thanks to meticulous carbon lay-up refinement and an impeccable out-of-the-mold finish, the ARC 1100 boasts a premium build quality without the need for cosmetic veneers. Each rim undergoes internal scanning to ensure flawless construction of every carbon layer, resulting in a lighter and stronger wheelset—up to 158 grams lighter than its predecessor. The DICUT 180 hubs feature 36-tooth Ratchet EXP mechanisms and SiNC ceramic bearings, offering lightweight, low-drag, and reliable performance synonymous with DT Swiss’s legendary engineering.

Included in the WTS (Wheel, Tyre, and Sealant) system, the front wheel arrives ready with a Continental Aero 111 tire, while the rear complements with a GP 5000 STR tire. High-performance TPU tubes, tubeless rim tape, lightweight tubeless valves, and wheel bags are all part of the package, providing a complete, race-ready setup. Rear wheels come compatible with both Shimano Road and SRAM XDR freehubs, ensuring versatility for different drivetrains. The ARC 1100 also carries a lifetime warranty against material and manufacturing defects, plus a 10-year crash replacement program for peace of mind.
