AtEscapa, we carry the best wheel and component brands on the market, such as Dt Swiss. TheDt Swiss ERC 1400 Dicut 35 Disc 700c Front Wheel notonly impresses with its lower rolling resistance and more forgiving handling, but the rim dimensions have also changed significantly. With an increased inner width of 22 millimeters, they provide a better fit for wide road bike tires and allow you to ride at lower air pressures without the tire becoming unstable.

With the first generation of ERC wheels designed for long-distance riding, Dt Swiss set the benchmark for aerodynamically efficient wheels with high crosswind stability. In the second generation, these parameters were significantly improved, and riding stability was taken to a new level. Aerodynamics experts from Swiss-Side were also brought on board for the development of the current generation. With over 50 years of experience in Formula 1, Swiss-Side has also been producing extremely sophisticated aerodynamic wheels using the latest production techniques for several years. In contrast to the traditional approach, the development process not only took into account rotational air resistance and air resistance during driving but also expanded the criteria to create the best possible modern aerodynamic wheels. Under this AERO+ approach, driving comfort, rolling resistance, grip, handling, and the balance between aerodynamic performance and weight were all taken into account.

New Rim Shape

Unlike many competitors, Dt Swiss continues to rely on a hookless rim. Compared to a hookless profile, the risk of a tire coming off is much lower, and you have no restrictions when choosing a tire. The rims are optimized for a 28-millimeter tire width. For the rear wheel, where aerodynamics play a less important role, Dt Swiss recommends mounting a 30-millimeter tire for maximum comfort.

DICUT 240 Hubs

The latest generation of 240 DICUT hubs with Dt Swiss EXP technology spins at the center of the wheels. In addition to being lighter than the previous version, the hubs have also become stiffer and feature aerodynamically optimized straight hub bodies and flanges. Thanks to the use of complex seals and bearing sizes adapted to the loads, the Cubes do not require bearing play adjustment.
