#FLATOUTFAST
High speeds, minimal air resistance while maintaining superb aero
stability - everything you're looking for on a ride. With rim heights
starting at 48 mm, the aerodynamically optimized properties of these
carbon wheels ensure that you reach your goals faster. Wheels available
for rim brakes and disc brakes. Tires may lose contact with the ground
unintentionally for a short time.

DT Swiss Aero wheels are optimized to ride faster by reducing the aerodynamic drag and keeping the wheel rideable - even in unstable wind conditions. The drag reduction is achieved by using higher rim profiles and thinner aerodynamic spokes. Additionally, the rim profiles are shaped to keep the airflow attached to the rim, even in crosswind sections. This reduces aerodynamic drag, also known as the sailing effect. Under specific wind conditions, a significant drag reduction can turn into negative drag, propelling the wheel forward. Aero wheels help riders maintain speed with less effort, especially on flat terrain.
When choosing a DT Swiss aero wheel, riders should consider factors such as rim height, crosswind stability, total weight, tire compatibility, riding style and experience. Wheels with higher rims offer greater aerodynamic gains, but handling properties might be affected by unsteady wind conditions. -

In cycling, rim height significantly impacts the aerodynamics, maneuverability and weight of the wheel. Basically, the higher the rim, the greater the aerodynamic advantage. The lower the rim, the more agile and maneuverable the handling.

Both wheel types are very fast because they are aerodynamically optimized. While Aero wheels are developed primarily for speed on mostly flat terrain, aerodynamic Endurance wheels focus more on rideability and handling. With their more sturdy construction, resulting in an higher system weight and ASTM class 2, Pros ride Endurance wheels on the pavés of Paris-Roubaix. DT Swiss Endurance wheels are optimized to deliver comfort, stability, and reliability over long distances and varied road conditions. You can ride them worry-free on less perfect roads or in less perfect riding conditions.
