The DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT 38mm Carbon Spoke Front Wheel WTS takes the ARC 1100 platform further by replacing conventional spokes with carbon fibre spokes — reducing rotating mass and aerodynamic drag simultaneously. The result is one of the lightest and fastest 38mm front wheels DT Swiss produces, with the WTS spare parts kit for long-term service support.

  • 38mm deep toroidal DICUT carbon rim — optimised for climbing and mixed-terrain road racing
  • Carbon spokes — reduced rotating weight and spoke drag compared to conventional bladed metal spokes
  • 240 DICUT hub with Ratchet EXP 36-point star ratchet
  • Tubeless-ready clincher construction
  • WTS (Wheel Tuning System) spare parts kit included

Carbon spoke advantage

Carbon fibre spokes are stiffer, lighter, and more aerodynamic than equivalent bladed alloy spokes. On a 38mm rim, the spoke contribution to total aerodynamic drag is proportionally significant — carbon spokes reduce that drag while also cutting rotational inertia for faster acceleration.

38mm rim for climbing and versatility

The shallower 38mm DICUT profile prioritises low weight and crosswind stability. On mountain road stages, punchy circuits, and gran fondo events with significant climbing, a 38mm carbon spoke wheel offers measurable advantages over deeper sections.

240 DICUT hub

Ratchet EXP 36-point engagement on a precision-machined 240 DICUT hub — the same hub used across the ARC 1100 range.

WTS — Wheel Tuning System

Includes valve stems, rim tape, spare nipples, and Ratchet EXP service components.

Compatibility

Rim brake road bikes (clincher). Tubeless or clincher tyre compatible. Sold as front wheel only. Note: carbon spokes require care during tyre mounting — avoid tyre levers that contact spoke heads.
