DT Swiss

DT Swiss builds from the inside out — starting with spokes and hubs, then rims, then complete wheelsets — and that integrated approach shows in how the finished product performs. Founded in 1994 in Biel, Switzerland, DT Swiss brought precision manufacturing to cycling components at a time when most wheel systems were assembled from mismatched parts made by different hands.

The DT Swiss collection at RA Cycles spans the full ecosystem: complete road, gravel, and mountain bike wheelsets from the ARC 1100 DiCut aero series down to trail-ready MTB builds, plus the components that hold it all together — Star Ratchet kits, freehub bodies, spokes, nipples, bearings, and rims. Prices run from $0.25 for individual nipples to $2,795 for the ARC 1100 DiCut aero disc rear wheel.

About DT Swiss

DT Swiss was founded in 1994 in Biel, Switzerland — a management buyout from Vereinigte Drahtwerke, a wire manufacturer with roots in the region dating to 1634. The name reflects that heritage: “DT” stands for “Drahtwerke Tréfileries,” wireworks in German and French. In 1995, DT Swiss introduced the Ratchet hub — a patented mechanism using two interlocking toothed rings for simultaneous engagement, faster pickup, and exceptional durability under load. That hub became the foundation of a brand now trusted across road, gravel, mountain, and triathlon. R&D and spoke production remain in Switzerland. Learn more at DT Swiss’s official website.

RA Cycles stocks the DT Swiss lineup from individual components to complete wheelsets. On the road side, the ARC 1100 DiCut is DT Swiss’s aero flagship — deep-section carbon with their DiCut rim profile for crosswind stability and outright speed. The PRC 1400 Spline is the climbing and all-rounder option, while the GRC 1400 brings the same carbon construction to gravel in both 700c and 650b. MTB riders have the M 1900 and E 1900 series for trail and enduro. The collection also covers the components behind those wheelsets: Star Ratchet upgrade kits, freehub bodies, spokes, nipples, bearings, and tubeless tape.
