DT Swiss ERC 1100 DICUT 45 mm Premium Endurance + Aero Carbon Wheelset

Step up to a wheelset that balances speed, precision and ride-quality like few others. The ERC 1100 DICUT 45 mm from DT Swiss is modern carbon-road performance engineered for the rider who demands versatility, durability and refinement on the road.

Performance Attributes

• 45 mm rim depth: deep enough to deliver meaningful aero benefits, yet shallow and stable enough for mixed terrain and cross-wind control. On the ERC 1100 DICUT 45, the 22 mm internal 28.5 mm external widths help pair perfectly with modern wider tyres.

• Carbon rim-monocoque with hooked/tubeless-compatible bed: ride with tubes or go tubeless for lower rolling resistance and greater comfort.

• Premium hubs: DT Swiss 180 hubset, SINC ceramic bearings and Ratchet EXP freehub platform deliver rapid engagement, efficient transfer and enduring reliability.

• Hand-built by DT Swiss: each wheel is built with precision, ensuring tight spoke tension, excellent durability and trusted serviceability.

• Versatile application: While optimized for endurance and all-round road use, the ERC 1100 DICUT 45 handles climbs, flats and longer rides with finessereviewers highlight its comfort and composure on long rides.

Why These Wheels Stand Out
For the rider who isnt just chasing top-end deep rims but wants balanced excellencelight enough to enhance climbs, deep enough to benefit aero, stable enough for unpredictable road and wind conditionsthis wheelset hits the sweet spot. Its especially fitting for high-end performance bikes that may see everything from long endurance rides, fast group rides and moderate climbing.

Technical Highlights

• Rim height: 45 mm.

• Rim width: Inner 22 mm / Outer 28.5 mm.

• Tyre interface: Hooked/Tubeless-Ready.

• Axle/Brake system: Disc, Centre Lock, 12-mm thru-axle (rear: 12x142 mm) for road builds.

• Manufacturer-claimed rear weight: ~786 g.

• Optimised aero profile via DT Swiss Aero+ concept in collaboration with Swiss Side for drag & steering torque control.

Ideal For

• Serious cyclists riding high-end road bikes who want a premium wheelset that works across terrains.

• Riders who value refined ride quality, strong service network (DT Swiss hubs & parts) and modern tyre compatibility.

• Those who prefer a more usable rim depth (~45 mm) rather than ultra-deep aero rims (which can become unstable in crosswinds or heavier bikes).

• Upgrades on performance-oriented road bikes where handling, durability and confidence matter equally with speed.

Installation & Usage Notes

• Confirm compatibility of your bikes brake system, axle spacing and wheel clearance (the 12142 mm rear thru-axle standard applies).

• While tubeless-ready, check tyre compatibility with your frame/fork clearance and run wide tyres (28 mm or more) to fully leverage the rim width and ride comfort benefits.

• Regular servicing of DT Swiss hubs ensures long life and consistent performancegiven the premium build, maintenance is part of unlocking full value.

• Because of the 45 mm rim depth, expect improved aero behaviour compared to shallow rims, with less compromise than ultra-deep rims in crosswinds.
