DT Swiss - ARC 1100 DICUT db 85 12/100 mm Front Wheel

V-Shaped for Victory. Built to Lead. Engineered to Win.

The DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT 85 is the pinnacle of modern aerodynamic wheel engineering, a front wheel engineered for pure speed, stability, and control in the world’s fastest racing environments. Developed as part of the third-generation ARC platform, this wheel features an 85mm V-shaped carbon rim, an expanded 22mm internal width, and DT Swiss’ most advanced aero technologies, designed to reduce drag, enhance steering precision, and maximize efficiency at high velocity.

Created in partnership with the new AERO 111 tire system, the ARC 85 allows riders to achieve the ultimate wheel-tire aerodynamic integration. The wider internal width perfectly supports modern wide tires, providing elevated comfort and grip, while the V-shaped profile counters the increased frontal area to deliver incredibly low base drag and exceptional straight-line performance.

Whether you're racing a flat-out time trial, charging through a triathlon, or maintaining breakaway speed on the road, the ARC 1100 DICUT 85 is engineered to be your fastest option, proven in the wind tunnel, refined on the road.

Key Features

V-Shape Rim Geometry

- The aggressively profiled 85mm rim is shaped to minimize frontal drag and maintain stability in crosswinds.

- Wind-tunnel validated for the lowest baseline drag in the ARC range.

- Produces a low steering moment for smoother, more predictable handling.

Wider 22mm Internal Width

- Ideal for 28–30mm aerodynamic tires, especially the AERO 111 (optimized for 29mm).

- Provides enhanced comfort, traction, and rolling efficiency.

- Matches the modern movement toward wider tire setups in pro cycling.

Aero-Optimized Components

- Built with DT aerolite t-head spokes — light, stiff, and wind-cheating.

- Reduced spoke count (20 front) for decreased drag and weight savings.

- Completed with hidden DT Pro Lock nipples for a clean, aerodynamic finish.

DT Swiss 180 DICUT Hub

- Ultra-smooth SINC ceramic bearings for maximum efficiency.

- “No-tool concept” allows easy axle and freehub conversions.

- Centerlock rotor interface for precise braking performance.

Performance Highlights

- Fastest DT Swiss front wheel for flat time trials & triathlon

- V-shape reduces drag even with wider tires

- Increased stability and control at high speeds

- Tubeless Ready for rolling efficiency and comfort
