DT Swiss ARC1400 DiCut 700c Road Carbon DB Aero Race Wheels

The DT Swiss ARC1400 DiCut 700c Road Carbon DB Aero Race Wheels are built for riders chasing more speed with less effort. With a deep 62mm carbon rim profile developed alongside Swiss Side, this aero road wheelset helps reduce drag, hold speed more efficiently, and stay stable in changing wind conditions. Whether you’re racing, riding fast bunches, or simply want your road bike to feel quicker on the flats, these wheels are made to go hard.

This is the sort of wheelset that transforms how a bike feels once you get up to speed. The deeper carbon rims reward riders who like to push the pace, while the DT Swiss 240 hubs keep things smooth, responsive, and reliable over long distances. They shine on flatter terrain, rolling roads, triathlons, and fast weekend rides where maintaining momentum matters.

Who are these carbon road wheels for?

These wheels are ideal for riders who want genuine aerodynamic gains without sacrificing everyday ride quality. Perfect for road racers, fast recreational riders, triathletes, and cyclists upgrading from alloy wheels to a premium carbon wheelset. Riders who spend a lot of time above 30km/h will notice the biggest benefit, especially during solo efforts, breakaways, or fast group rides where holding speed efficiently makes a real difference.

Who are these not for?

If most of your riding involves steep climbing, slow technical roads, or rough gravel surfaces, a shallower lightweight wheelset may suit you better. Riders new to road cycling or those mainly riding casually at lower speeds may not fully benefit from the aero advantage a deep wheel provides. They’re also probably overkill for commuters or riders prioritising comfort above outright speed.

Why we love it

We’ve found the ARC1400 range hits a really nice balance between race-level speed and real-world rideability. Some deep-section wheels can feel nervous in crosswinds, but the Swiss Side rim design gives these a much more controlled feel than many older aero wheels. Our favourite part is how easily they carry speed once rolling. You stop feeling like you’re constantly accelerating and start feeling like the bike simply wants to keep moving fast.

Hot tip!

If you’re upgrading to deep carbon aero wheels for the first time, run them tubeless with quality road tyres around the 28c mark. The wider internal rim width works brilliantly with modern tyres, improving rolling speed, grip, and comfort while also smoothing out rough Australian roads surprisingly well.
