DT SWISS ARC 1600 SPLINE DB 55 WHEELSET

The DT Swiss ARC 1600 Spline 55 are carbon wheels designed for those seeking a high-performance upgrade for road cycling, time trials, and triathlon. Developed in collaboration with Swiss Side, they combine advanced aerodynamics, high-speed stability, and mechanical reliability, offering an ideal solution for those wanting to improve rolling smoothness, efficiency, and overall bike performance.

The carbon rim with a 55 mm profile has been engineered to reduce aerodynamic drag and maximize speed without compromising control. The profile shape ensures stable and predictable handling even in crosswinds, a crucial aspect for both fast road rides and time-trial competitions. The result is a wheel capable of delivering a tangible advantage in terms of energy efficiency and speed maintenance.

At the heart of the system is the proven DT Swiss 350 Spline hub, synonymous with reliability, smoothness, and ease of maintenance. The 36T Ratchet freehub system ensures quick engagement and long-term durability, minimizing the need for frequent servicing. High-quality bearings contribute to a fluid and consistent rotation, while the overall structure is designed to withstand intensive and prolonged use without issues.

The ARC 1600 Spline 55 are tubeless ready and compatible with 25 mm or 28 mm tires, an ideal combination for achieving the right balance between aerodynamics, comfort, grip, and rolling resistance. Compatibility with Center Lock disc brakes and modern 12x100 mm front and 12x142 mm rear thru-axle standards makes them perfectly suited for the most current road bikes.

Thanks to the contained weight of 1545 g per pair, torsional stiffness, and DT Swiss build quality, these wheels represent an excellent choice for those desiring a high-performance, fast, and reliable carbon wheelset, ready for intensive training, road races, and triathlon.
