When speed is the only metric that matters, the DT Swiss ARC 1400 DICUT 85mm front wheel delivers maximum aerodynamic depth in a disc-specific carbon package. An 85mm DICUT rim is purpose-built for flat courses, time trials, and criteriums where outright aero gain outweighs all other considerations.

• 85mm DICUT carbon rim with toroidal aero profile
• Disc brake specific — 12x100mm front axle standard
• Tubeless-ready clincher construction
• Ratchet EXP engagement system
• WTS (Wheel Tuning System) — rim and tyre matched for maximum aero performance
• 700C / 622mm bead seat diameter

Maximum depth, measurable speed

85mm of DICUT carbon is as deep as road racing gets for a front wheel that still handles predictably. The toroidal rim profile manages yaw sensitivity so the wheel delivers aerodynamic performance without the unpredictable handling that plagued older deep-section designs.

Disc-specific thru-axle front end

The 12x100mm thru-axle interface provides the rigid, consistent front-end feel that a deep-section wheel demands — particularly important when the wheel is doing aerodynamic work in variable crosswinds.

Wheel Tuning System

At 85mm, WTS matters most. The tyre profile matched to this rim is selected to ensure the combined aerodynamic performance is optimised, not just the rim geometry in isolation.

Compatibility

Axle: 12x100mm front thru-axle. Brake: disc (rotor not included). Tyre type: tubeless-ready clincher (tyre not included). Best suited for flat-to-rolling courses. Sold as individual front wheel.
