Aero For All! The AR 1600's are designed to offer the highest aero performance yet seen from an alloy system, whether you're looking for a race wheelset for evening circuits or a dependable but speedy set of training hoops
20mm internal width rims are the first alloy rim profile developed with DT's Aero research team at Swiss Side, no other alloy rim has had more in-depth aero testing both in terms of CFD simulations and Wind Tunnel time
The rim is of course only part of the equation and the AR 1600's use super deep Aero Comp II spokes and hidden nipples to further minimise drag
350 hubs use 36-tooth SL ratchets, giving a great balance between engagement, low noise, minimal drag and long term reliability, especially in poor conditions
The Swiss-made DT ratchet system remains the gold standard for reliability, low-weight and ease of servicing, which is why it's relied upon everywhere from the Tour De France to the World Cup Downhill circuit
Hand built in Europe using Swiss-made spokes and premium Prolock Squorx nipples for long term build stability and ease of maintenance

The DT Swiss AR1600 Spline is a straightforward but highly competent alloy wheelset. It’s the highest-spec alloy wheelset in the manufacturer’s range, featuring the reputed DT Swiss 350 hubs and its AERO+ rim shape. Where these wheels shine is on rougher surfaces, smoothing out any lumps and bumps. These all-rounders are a safe, reliable choice.- Bike Radar
