The lead over your friends and rivals won’t just be given out to you. You will have to train hard to reach your goal. Helping you on your quest is the third generation of the benchmark ARC 1400 DICUT now ideally suiting wider tires. Available in three new rim heights, 55, 65 and 85 mm, with a unique v-shape that allows for a wider inner width without compromising aerodynamics. The ARC 1400 DICUT 38, with its 38 mm high rim remains the ideal climbing wheelset for blasting through the iconic climbs on your bucket list. Combined with top-of-the-line 240 DICUT hub with Ratchet EXP system and DT aerocomp II spokes, will help you take the lead in your next ride.

The ARC 1400 DICUT db wheels come as an aero-optimized Wheel Tire System (WTS). For the 55 mm and 65 mm rim heights, they are equipped with the new AERO 111 front tire in a 29 mm width and a Continental GP 5000 STR rear tire in 30 mm. For the 85 mm rim option the setup includes a 26 mm AERO 111 tire in the front and a 28 mm Continental GP 5000 STR in the rear.

Wider Rims
It’s no secret that professional cycling has seen a shift toward wider tires in recent years. To optimally accommodate this, a wider rim inner width is required. An inner rim width of 22 mm ideally suits the 29 mm AERO 111 that has become the new standard, while maintaining optimal aerodynamic performance.

V-shape
Increasing the inner width of the rim has a direct effect on the frontal area of the wheel. The V-shape of the rim compensates for this and optimises air resistance. As our tests in the wind tunnel show, this shape clearly provides the lowest base drag measured. Additionally it provides a small steering moment, ensuring a smooth steering sensation for the rider.

3 New Rim Heights
Thanks to three distinctive rim heights, a wide variety of riding preferences can be covered: do you like to ride fast on a veriety of terrain, without fearing an occasional steep climb? Then the 55 mm rim height is the ideal one for you. The 65 mm deep rims let you take the lead of the sprint with their fast aero-optimized profile and are ideal for flat out rides on flat terrain. And finally, the highest rim, the 85 mm are the fastest, and offer the lowest drag, ideal for triathlons or time trials.

Wheel Tire System (WTS)
The new ARC wheels have been developed applying the WTS Technology with the AERO 111 tire following our AERO+ concept as a symbiosis of drag, handling and efficiency. On top of the lower base drag provided by the V shape, the combination with the AERO 111 and its unique vortex generators adds a strong sailing effect. The steering moment increases evenly in cross-wind conditions, avoiding any jolts. This translates into more predictable and comfortable the rider, ultimately increasing the confidence to stay as aero as possible at all times.

Aero-Optimized Components
No stones were left unturned. Thanks to our know-how we made sure to align all of the components in the quest of lacing together the ideal wheelset that not only provide a great aero-optimization, but a great rideability as well. Aero-optimized spokes, reduced to 20-count in the front wheel, provide a slight decrease of drag while saving weight as well.
