Gain speed with the DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT DB 55 WTS rear, a high-end carbon wheel delivered with a 30 mm Continental GP5000 S TR tyre and a TPU inner tube. Its 55 mm rim combines aerodynamic efficiency, dynamism, and versatility on varied courses. The 180 DICUT hub, SINC ceramic bearings, and Ratchet EXP 36 system optimise smoothness and power transmission.
The DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT DB 55 WTS rear wheel is part of the third generation of the Swiss brand's high-end aerodynamic wheels. It is aimed at competitors and demanding cyclists looking for a particularly well-balanced combination of aerodynamics, low weight, stiffness, and versatility.
With its 55 mm rim, it is high enough to effectively reduce aerodynamic drag, without reaching the weight and specialisation of a 65 or 85 mm wheel. It is therefore suitable for road races, hilly triathlons, fast cyclosportives, and high-intensity training sessions.
This WTS version, for Wheel Tire System, combines the ARC 1100 DICUT wheel with a tyre selected to work efficiently with the rim's dimensions and profile. This approach considers the wheel and tyre as a single unit to optimise aerodynamics, performance, and on-road behaviour.
The rear wheel comes with a Continental GP5000 S TR in 30-622 and a Continental TPU inner tube. This setup offers an excellent compromise between performance, grip, comfort, and lightness, while allowing the system to be used immediately with an inner tube.
The Continental GP5000 S TR is a high-performance road tyre for competition and fast rides. Its 30 mm section takes advantage of the rim's internal width to offer a stable base and an air volume that promotes comfort, grip, and control.
This section also allows for riding at a more moderate pressure than with a narrow tyre. It thus helps to limit vibrations and energy loss on uneven surfaces, without sacrificing the performance expected from a competition tyre.
The supplied inner tube is made of TPU, a lighter and more compact material than traditional butyl. It helps to limit the weight of the setup while maintaining the ease of use of a system with an inner tube.
The wheel and tyre remain compatible with tubeless use. The cyclist can therefore convert the setup by adding the appropriate sealant and removing the inner tube, provided that the manufacturers' recommendations are followed.
The 55 mm rim height is the most versatile version in the ARC 1100 DICUT range. It allows for maintaining excellent speed on the flat while remaining light and responsive enough to tackle climbs and changes of pace.
At the rear, this height also provides good lateral stiffness and helps maintain speed once the bike is up to speed. It will suit cyclists who want to enjoy a real aerodynamic advantage without reserving their wheel for exclusively flat courses.
The carbon rim adopts a V-shaped profile developed to combine a greater internal width with high aerodynamic performance. This geometry helps to guide airflow more cleanly around the wheel and tyre to limit drag at high speed.
Its external width reaches 28 mm. It forms a coherent transition with the supplied 30 mm rear tyre and contributes to the overall aerodynamic efficiency.
The internal width reaches 22 mm on this third generation. It provides a better base for modern road tyres and allows for a more stable profile, which is favourable for grip, comfort, and handling precision.
This dimension is particularly well-suited to the supplied 30 mm Continental GP5000 S TR. The tyre benefits from a generous air volume and a shape that is consistent with the rim, without taking on an excessively rounded silhouette.
The rim uses a Hooked Tubeless construction. It can accommodate a compatible tubeless tyre or be used with an inner tube. This versatility allows the cyclist to choose their setup according to their habits, maintenance constraints, and the level of performance sought.
The 25 mm tubeless rim tape and the aluminium tubeless valve are supplied. However, the original setup uses the also included TPU inner tube.
At the centre of the wheel is the DT Swiss 180 DICUT hub, the brand's top-of-the-range road model. Its construction prioritises lightness, stiffness, and smoothness to limit mechanical losses and ensure a direct response during accelerations.
The DICUT architecture optimises the interface between the hub and the aerodynamic spokes. It contributes to a coherent and precise wheel, capable of withstanding the stresses of competition and high power outputs.
The 180 DICUT hub incorporates SINC Ceramic bearings. Their silicon nitride balls are designed to reduce rolling resistance while offering excellent resistance to wear and corrosion.
This technology promotes rotational fluidity and contributes to the wheel's very high-end positioning. Like all precision bearings, they must be properly maintained to preserve their performance over time.
The Ratchet EXP 36 freehub system uses two star ratchets ensuring homogeneous torque transmission. One of the ratchets is integrated into the hub's threaded ring, which reduces the number of components, weight, and potential sources of play.
The 36 teeth offer a 10-degree engagement angle. This configuration guarantees a sufficiently fast pedal re-engagement while prioritising reliability, durability, and efficiency.
This version comes with a Shimano Road freehub body fitted as standard. It is intended for road drivetrains using the corresponding Shimano interface.
DT Swiss also provides a SRAM XDR freehub body kit. This makes it possible to convert the hub to use a compatible SRAM XDR cassette without purchasing the corresponding body separately.
The wheel is built with DT Aerolite II T-Head spokes. Their flat profile helps to reduce air resistance, while their specific head limits unwanted spoke rotation and promotes precise alignment.
The two-cross lacing pattern effectively distributes the stresses from pedalling and braking. The DT Pro Lock aluminium nipples are hidden inside the rim to preserve the aerodynamics and aesthetics of the wheelset.
The wheel is designed to accommodate a brake disc using the Center Lock standard. This system facilitates the mounting and dismounting of the disc while ensuring a rigid and precise attachment.
The disc and its lockring are not listed among the supplied items. It is therefore advisable to check their presence and compatibility with the hub, frame, and braking system used.
The rear hub is compatible with the DT Swiss TRACKR SPEED DICUT. This separately available sensor integrates directly into the hub to measure speed without a magnet or visible accessory attached to the spokes.
Its accelerometer detects the wheel's rotation and transmits the data to a computer or a compatible device. The sensor is not supplied with this version.
The wheel, the 30 mm Continental GP5000 S TR tyre, and the TPU inner tube have a total claimed weight of 1,118 g. This figure should not be directly compared to the 793 g of the version sold without a tyre or inner tube.
The maximum authorised system weight is 110 kg. This value includes the cyclist, the bike, the equipment, and any luggage.
The DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT DB 55 WTS rear is a high-end solution that is immediately ready to ride. We appreciate the consistency between the 22 mm rim and the 30 mm GP5000 S TR, which provides performance, grip, and comfort. Its 55 mm profile remains versatile on hilly courses. The 180 hub and its ceramic bearings will appeal to competitors looking for a fast, smooth, and particularly well-finished package.
