DT Swiss launches its first carbon-spoked wheelset
It’s big news when the world's largest spoke manufacturer releases a wheelset that uses spokes from another manufacturer. Built with carbon spokes from Vonoa, the new ARC 1100 Spline 38 CS is DT Swiss’ lightest road wheel to date and its first to feature carbon spokes.
DT Swiss claims the new climbing-centric wheelset weighs just 1,174 grams for the pair, a saving of 124 grams from the pre-existing ARC 1100 Spline 38 wheelset with bladed steel spokes. According to the company, the wheels feature specific hubs and rims with unique drilling for the carbon spokes.
DT Swiss is only selling these wheels as a Wheel Tyre System (WTS), which includes a Continental Aero 111 26 mm front tyre and a Continental GP 5000 STR 28 mm rear tyre. Expect to pay €3,200 / US$3,727 / £2,900 for the set.
