DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut 80 Tubeles DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut® Carbon 80 Disc CL Wheelset With the ARC series, DT Swiss has fundamentally changed the perspective in road bike wheel engineering: Instead of just looking at aerodynamics, they are looking for the best compromise between air friction, steering torque and rolling resistance. The 2020 vintage, the second generation, continues this concept and tears down existing walls that were thought to be incontrovertible. The ARC 1100 Dicut® Carbon has therefore become wider. Wider means faster: DT Swiss ARC 1100 Dicut Carbon Wheelset with 80mm rim hight 19 was the day before yesterday, 23 yesterday: The tyre width will be at least 25mm with ARC Dicut in 2020, and even 28mm is possible at the rear. Because wider is the new faster with DT Swiss, the ARC wheels now have a 20mm rim width. Behind all this, there is of course a sophisticated concept: it is called AERO+ and follows the approach of looking at the wheel in its entirety. Steering characteristics and rolling resistance have also moved to the centre of interest. Steering torque also includes the actual aerodynamic issue of crosswind sensitivity, which is not taken into account when considering frontal drag only. Lateral forces influence the handling proportionally more than one would expect. DT Swiss' goal was therefore to minimize the lateral forces and to provoke a sailing effect — this combination delivers the best rideability. To achieve this, DT Swiss has refined the rim shape (VU instead of V or U!) and also relies on advanced hub technology. And the spokes have also been reworked according to all the rules of aero design. The result is a new dimension in overall efficiency, which enables the ARC wheels to convert energy into maximum performance. This is made possible by the optimum combination of weight, aerodynamics and handling. Product features - ARC 1100 Dicut® Carbon 80
