Designed to bring true Aero to the masses no other Alloy wheel a this price point offers as much aerodynamic performance as the A 1800
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 bladded Aero Comp spokes and hidden nipples to further minimise drag
370 hubs with an 18-tooth ratchet LN system bring unparalleled hub quality to this price point
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 for a carefully tuned blend of stiffness and low weight, premium Prolock Squorx nipples are used for long term build stability and ease of maintenance
Tubeless ready but can also be used with standard clinchers
Front wheel comes ready for standard 12 x 100 mm thru axles. The rear comes ready for standard 12 x 142 mm thru axles, both can be adapted for other axles using adaptors (available separately)
Maximum recommended system weight: 120 KG
When bought as a pair they will include tubeless rim tape and valves
Weight: Front 835 grams Rear: 941 grams

‘We invent, develop, shape and create, every day. We aspire
to engineer leadership, every day. We strive for products that set benchmarks,
every day. We help cyclists achieve their ambitions. Every day since 1994,
engineering performance has been at the heart of everything we do.’
It all started with spokes. Formed in 1994 following a buyout from a Biel-based wire works with roots all the way back to the 15th-century, DT Swiss AG was founded by Frank Böchmann, Maurizio D’Alberto and Marco Zingg with the vision of becoming a world-renowned manufacturer of bicycle components.
Pioneers of the ratchet rear hub – which still sets the standard for engagement and performance – DT believes that wheels should be built with the entire system in mind, not just constructed from parts built by other brands. Every DT Swiss wheel is entirely made by the Swiss brand with hubs, nipples, spokes and rims all designed and built by them rather than sourced elsewhere.
In 2017 they launched the ARC road wheels, developed in conjunction with SwissSide and renowned aerodynamicist JP Ballard, and the latest generation of these wheels are currently ridden in the pro peloton by Lotto-Dstny and the likes of Caleb Ewan and Thomas De Gendt.
Today, DT Swiss is one of the biggest names in cycling and still strives to develop beautifully engineered products that break boundaries while setting the standard for quality control and reliability.
