V-Shaped for Victory. Precision for Pure Speed. Engineered to Lead.

The DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT 85 Rear Wheel represents the fastest, most aerodynamically advanced rear wheel DT Swiss has ever created. Designed for athletes who race against the clock, this wheel is built around an 85mm deep V-shaped carbon rim, a new 22mm internal width, and the ultra-efficient Ratchet EXP 36 hub system, delivering minimal drag, maximum speed, and uncompromising stability at high velocity.

Developed as part of the third-generation ARC platform, the 85mm model stands at the top of the series. It is engineered for triathlon, time trial, and high-speed road performance, offering the lowest drag and smoothest airflow characteristics in the ARC line-up. The V-shaped profile compensates for the expanded internal width needed to support modern wider tires, ensuring exceptional aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing comfort or control.

This wheel integrates seamlessly with the DT Swiss AERO 111 tire, producing a perfect wheel–tire aerodynamic system. Built with DT aerolite t-head spokes, hidden DT Pro Lock nipples, and the legendary DT Swiss 180 DICUT ceramic-bearing hub, the ARC 1100 DICUT 85 is engineered down to the finest detail for athletes seeking every possible watt saved.
