ARC 1100 WTS 55 mm Clincher Disc Limited Edition Wheelset

DT Swiss ARC 1100 WTS 55 mm Clincher Disc Limited Edition Wheelset

The DT Swiss ARC 1100 WTS 55 mm Clincher Disc Brake Limited Edition Wheelset is engineered for cyclists who demand maximum speed, ultimate efficiency, and uncompromising all-round performance. Handcrafted in DT Swiss' European facility, this third-generation aero wheelset features fully proprietary carbon rims developed alongside the aerodynamics experts at Swiss Side and validated in the GST wind tunnel. By combining an expanded 22 mm internal rim width with a hybrid V-shape profile, it is optimised for modern 28 to 30 mm tyres, offering deeper aerodynamic efficiency alongside superior crosswind stability. The refined carbon layup sheds up to 158 grams per pair compared to its predecessor, while internal scanning of every rim ensures flawless structural integrity. 

Unrivalled Hub Engineering and Aerodynamic Integration

At the heart of the wheelset are the ultra-light DICUT 180 hubs, fitted with smooth SiNC ceramic bearings and the ultra-reliable 36-tooth Ratchet EXP system at the rear. Laced with premium DT Aerolite II spokes designed specifically to minimize rotational drag, these wheels deliver optimal power transfer and razor-sharp reactivity. The front wheel uses a 12 x 100 mm thru-axle standard, while the rear utilizes a 12 x 142 mm setup with both Shimano Road and SRAM XDR freehub bodies included right out of the box. Capable of supporting a maximum system weight of 110 kg, this wheelset balances lightweight agility with robust dependability for road racing, time trials, and triathlons. 

Complete Wheel Tyre System Integration

Delivered as a complete Wheel Tyre System, this set pairs the aerodynamic Continental Aero 111 front tyre with the fast, durable GP 5000 STR rear tyre to optimize airflow and rolling resistance. The comprehensive package also includes high-performance TPU inner tubes, tubeless rim tape, lightweight tubeless valves, and protective DT Swiss wheel bags for safe transport. Tipping the scales at a lightweight 1471 grams a pair (excluding tyres and tubes), the 55 mm profile provides effortless acceleration and relentless speed across flat and rolling terrain alike. Backed by a lifetime warranty against defects and a 10-year crash replacement programme, this limited-edition wheelset represents the ultimate speed upgrade for competitive cyclists.
