The lead is not given not taken... so take it with the DT Swiss ARC line of cutting-edge racing wheels
The 2nd Generation ARC's are already proven beyond all doubt at the highest levels of professional Road and Triathlon racing, so how to make them even better?
Made in DT's European facility, the 3rd generation ARC 1100's use a fully proprietary carbon rim developed in conjunction with the Aero research team at Swiss Side and extensively tested at the GST wind tunnel just over the border in Germany
The new rim design features a 22 mm internal width optimised for 28-30mm tyres in a unique hybrid V-shape that allows the use of deeper rims whilst giving superior crosswind stability even compared to the previous shallower designs
The rim's construction also takes advantage of developments in DT's in house carbon manufacturing with a further refined carbon lay-up and prefect 'out the mold' finish requiring no additional cosmetic veneer to be added
Every rim produced is scanned internally so each individual layer of the carbon can be checked prior to assembly
The result is a weight saving of up to 158 grams a pair versus the previous generation despite being both wider and deeper
As you'd expect from the leading hub engineering force in cycling, DICUT 180s with 36 tooth Ratchet EXP and SiNC ceramic bearings are the light, simple, low drag and still just as reliable and easy to service as the legendary 240
DT and Swiss Side's continuing leading-edge research into rotational drag and its effect on performance has lead to the premium Aerolite II spokes which are used throughout these wheelsets
The front wheel comes ready for 12 x 100 mm thru axles, rear comes ready for 12 x 142 mm thru axles
Maximum recommended system weight: 110 KG
Wheels include wheel bags, tubeless rim tape and lightweight tubeless valves, Rears have both Shimano Road and SRAM XDR freehubs included
Warrantied for life against material or manufacturing defects with a 10 year crash Replacement program, please see DTSwiss.com for details
Wheel weights by rim depth: 85 mm: 1669 grams a pair, 65 mm: 1511 grams a pair, 55 mm: 1471 grams a pair

‘We invent, develop, shape and create, every day. We aspire to engineer leadership, every day. We strive for products that set benchmarks, every day. We help cyclists achieve their ambitions. Every day since 1994, engineering performance has been at the heart of everything we do.’
It all started with spokes. Formed in 1994 following a buyout from a Biel-based wire works with roots all the way back to the 15th-century, DT Swiss AG was founded by Frank Böchmann, Maurizio D’Alberto and Marco Zingg with the vision of becoming a world-renowned manufacturer of bicycle components.
Pioneers of the ratchet rear hub – which still sets the standard for engagement and performance – DT believes that wheels should be built with the entire system in mind, not just constructed from parts built by other brands. Every DT Swiss wheel is entirely made by the Swiss brand with hubs, nipples, spokes and rims all designed and built by them rather than sourced elsewhere.
In 2017 they launched the ARC road wheels, developed in conjunction with SwissSide and renowned aerodynamicist JP Ballard, and the latest generation of these wheels are currently ridden in the pro peloton by Lotto-Dstny and the likes of Caleb Ewan and Thomas De Gendt.
Today, DT Swiss is one of the biggest names in cycling and still strives to develop beautifully engineered products that break boundaries while setting the standard for quality control and reliability.
