DT Swiss ARC 1400 Dicut® DB 50 Carbon Aero Road Rear Wheel 28"/700C SHIMANO HG / SRAM XDR™

The DT Swiss ARC 1400 Dicut® DB 50 carbon rear wheel for road bikes with disc brakes impresses with good aerodynamics and perfect all-round qualities!
The aero wheel is predestined for varied and narrow courses that require excellent handling, as well as for fast and demanding stages with greater differences in altitude.

The 50 mm deep aero rim combines high stiffness and a low weight. The leading component technology by DT Swiss and SWISS SIDE’s know-how in aerodynamics give the aero all-round wheel unparalleled control and aero stability. In moderate crosswinds, the ARC 1400 system wheels let you benefit from acceleration through the sail effect as well as a stable aerodynamic position with full control over your bike. Whether in competitions or on a relaxed training ride.

The wheels not only impress with their medium-high AERO+ profile rim. High-quality DT Swiss aero spokes and the lightweight 240 Dicut® aero hub with the weight-reduced Ratchet EXP freewheel system for a direct drive round off the first-class design of this carbon wheel. Excellent tubeless compatibility provides less weight, improved puncture resistance, lower rolling resistance and more comfort when equipped with tubeless tyres.

Technologies:

• AERO+:
The symbiosis of air resistance, handling and efficiency. – The optimisation of the wheel aerodynamics by DT Swiss in cooperation with SWISS SIDE reduces rotational and air resistance for low-friction acceleration and controlled steering behaviour in crosswinds. In combination with a larger inner rim dimension for wider tyres, rolling resistance is also reduced. Traction and comfort are enhanced by the wide contact patch.

• RATCHET EXP SYSTEM:
Thanks to the integration of star ratchet and thread ring, this is currently the lightest ratchet freewheel system from DT Swiss. The start ratchets for the Ratchet EXP system have 36 or 54 teeth for a particularly small engagement angle. The system stands out for high reliability thanks to the simultaneous meshing of the teeth, which leads to significantly lower point loads. The no-tool concept allows easy maintenance and tool-free conversion to common axle and freehub body standards.

• TUBELESS:
All DT Swiss wheels are tubeless ready. The profiles of the DT Swiss rims are specially designed for tubeless use. The rim profile makes it easier to fit the right tyre and ensures a perfect fit. The tubeless system of the rim consists of DT Swiss tubeless ready tape for sealing and a DT Swiss tubeless valve in a length that complies with the rim. When using tubeless ready tyres, a compatible sealant must be used. However, it is also possible to use a conventional combination of tyre and inner tube.

• BEARINGS:
Having learned from years of experience, DT Swiss only uses durable cartridge bearings without bearing play adjustment. DT Swiss hubs are designed to have the optimum axial and radial bearing play when they are properly installed. The correct preload of the bearings to compensate for the clamping force of the wheel mounting system is the basis for a play-free hub with minimum friction.
