DT Swiss ARC 1400 DI 55 Road Wheels

Being a leader is not for the faint of heart. The third generation of ARC reaches a new peak of innovation, with a wider inner rim width, now 22mm, that ideally supports wider tires providing you with grip and comfort. You will be able to storm ahead with enhanced speed over a long period. Three different rim heights, 55, 65, 85mm, with a unique v-shape allow for a wider inner width without compromising aerodynamics and weight.

The ARC rims were developed together with technology and can be ridden on the front wheel with the AERO 111 tire to achieve the ultimate aerodynamic setup. On a mission to take the lead and develop the fastest wheels yet, DT Swiss has achieved the goal of creating wider, higher, yet lighter rims. V-shaped for victory - because the lead isn’t just given out in cycling. You have to get it.

Wider rims

It’s no secret that professional cycling has seen a shift toward wider tires in recent years. To optimally accommodate this, a wider rim inner width is required. An inner rim width of 22mm ideally suits the 29mm AERO 111 tire that has become the new standard, while maintaining optimal aerodynamic performance.

V-shape

Increasing the inner width of the rim has a direct effect on the frontal area of the wheel. The V-shape of the rim compensates for this and optimises air resistance. As our tests in the wind tunnel show, this shape clearly provides the lowest base drag measured. Additionally, it provides a low steering moment, ensuring a smooth steering sensation for the rider.

3 rim heights

Thanks to three distinctive rim heights, a wide variety of riding preferences can be covered: do you like to ride fast on a variety of terrain, without fearing an occasional steep climb? Then the 55mm rim height is the ideal one for you. The 65mm deep rims let you take the lead of the sprint with their fast aero-optimized profile and are ideal for flat out rides on flat terrain. And finally, the highest rim, the 85mm are the fastest and offer the lowest drag, ideal for triathlons or time trials.

Aero optimized components

No stones were left unturned. Thanks to our know-how we made sure to align all of the components in the quest of lacing together the ideal wheelset that not only provide great aero optimization, but great rideability as well. Aero-optimized spokes, reduced to 20 count in the front wheel, provide a slight decrease of drag while saving weight as well.

DT Swiss hubs are known for their no-tool concept. The concept allows tool-free conversion to all common axle and freehub body standards.
