In spite of its otherwise race-focused product catalog, these second-generation DT Swiss ERC carbon wheels remain geared towards serving regular riders on normal roads.

That said, DT Swiss has amped-up several of the revised wheelset's design features in an attempt to provide extra performance. These include an upgrade to its 1100 level hubset, meaning the brand's 180 hubs is used. DT Swiss says the 180 design is the most aerodynamic and lightest hubset it offers, featuring the brand's SINC ceramic bearings and Ratchet EXP freehub. The spokes have also been upgraded to a mix of the brand's Aerolite II and Aero Comp II designs, which are both thinner and deeper than their respective predecessors, which should all help create better aerodynamics.
