Flat Out Fast! the DT Swiss 80 mm ARC's are quite simply the new benchmark in carbon racing wheels, against the clock or shoulder to shoulder, there's nothing you'd rather roll up to the start line on
Working extensively with JP Ballard and his team at the GST wind tunnel in Immenstaad, Germany, DT have broken new ground in aerodynamic analysis by being the first to develop a method to accurately measure rotational drag
Translational drag is created by moving the wheel forward but 25% of all drag is generated by the wheel itself turning, it is this, rotational drag that JP's team developed a whole new methodology to measure and then develop new ways to minimise it
The result are wheels that outperform the equivalent depth competition on every level, please visit DTSwiss.com for more technical data on how this was achieved
Why 'only' 17 mm wide? Because after testing hundreds of rim and tyre combinations, it's proven to be the fastest, if you want wider, our PRC and ERC ranges have you covered
With 15% of a wheel's drag coming from the hub, DT went back to the drawing board and developed the most aerodynamic road hub on the market, equipped with SiNC ceramic bearings and a 36-tooth ratchet, these are fastest road hubs available
DT's premium Aerolite nailhead spokes allow a super clean hub design, further reducing rotational drag
For those looking to use the latest tyre tech the ARC 1100's come tubeless ready but can also be used with standard clinchers, we recommend 23 or 25c for optimum aero performance
Maximum recommended system weight: 100 KG
When bought as a pair they will include, SwissStop brake pads, Titanium RWS skewers, wheel bags, rim tape and tubeless valves
