DT Swiss ERC1400 DICUT 35mm Carbon Road Disc Brake Front Wheel

The Wheel For Long Distance Riding
Regardless of where the road takes you, a DT Swiss ERC wheel with AERO+ optimised rim profile will allow you to stay in control during your extended endurance ride. Kilometres will pass by, almost effortlessly when riding on wider and more comfortable tyres of up to 32mm width. Each pedal force is transferred into propulsion and speed onto the 240 DICUT Aero hub by the reliable Ratchet EXP freehub system and DT aero comp t-head spokes.

Improved Stability Based On The Aero+ Concept
Based on the AERO+ development concept and in cooperation with Swiss Side, experts in aerodynamic optimisation, the DT Swiss ERC1400 DICUT 35mm Carbon Road Disc Brake Front Wheel has been redeveloped. It now features a further improved blend of reduced aerodynamic drag and steering movement.

Redefined Rim Shape
The AERO+ concept is a more comprehensive approach to wheel development and optimization. The redefined rim shape elevates performance beyond classic aerodynamic parameters of translational and rotational drag.

Increased Rim Inner Width
An increased rim inner width allows for the mounting of broader tyres that can be ridden at a relatively lower pressure. The ensuing increased shock absorption capacity benefits the rider, particularly on long rides with an improved cushioning of the wheel. Mounting the same tyre on a rim with an increased inner width allows the tyre to assume a more rounded shape which increases its contact area with the ground and therefore grip and traction of the wheel.

Aerodynamically Optimised Spokes
Already successfully contributing to the improved aerodynamics of the latest aero road line-up, the latest generation DT Swiss aero spokes are now specified for ERC wheels as well.

Weight-To-Aero Performance Ratio
The quality of the weight-to-aero performance ratio of a wheel can be judged by putting its weight in relation to its aerodynamic performance, based on its intended usage and the ensuing quality requirements resulting from it. Taking these criteria into consideration, the weight-to-aero performance ratio of the new endurance-specific ERC line-up can be described as well balanced, supporting the rider to cope with a variety of terrains, street, and wind conditions encountered particularly on longer rides.
