Wheel Tire System
Aaerodynamic wheel and tire as an integrated system.
An aerodynamic merge of wheel and tire
In the context of aerodynamic wheel optimisation, it was a logical next step to include the tire in further developments. So far, the aero tires available on the market demonstrated their benefits only under specific operating conditions, such as higher speeds and compatible rim shapes and heights. The conclusion was to develop the most aerodynamic setup as a fully integrated wheel and tire combination, offering not only best aero performance but also optimal puncture resistance and exceptional rolling resistance.
Which wheels and tires include the Wheel Tire System?
You can choose your Swiss Side road cycling wheels and we will install the Wheel Tire System with a Continental AERO 111 (front) and a Continental GP 5000 STR (rear). The wheel tires system will arrive with pre-mounted tires at your address.
What is a Wheel Tire System?
A Wheel Tire System refers to the combination of a wheel and tire that is used on a road, triathlon or TT bike. This includes the rim, spokes, hub, and the tire itself. The choice of wheel and tire size, width, and type can significantly impact the performance and characteristics of a bicycle, its handling, and aerodynamics.

Continental AERO 111
The Wheel Tire System arrives with a Continental AERO 111 (front) and a Continental GP 5000 STR (rear) already pre-mounted.
The Continental AERO 111 is the result of Swiss Side`s aero expertise, Continental's tire know-how, and DT Swiss's wheel competence. We call this a perfected storm, which enhances the aerodynamic performance of any wheel and significantly improves stability and handling in the wind.
FAQ`s to the Wheel Tire System
Where can I buy the Wheel Tire System?
You can buy the wheel tire system in our Swiss Side online shop. Just select your wheel set of choice and upgrade to the Wheel Tire System by checking the box.
Does the system come with tubes or tubeless?
The Continental tires arrive already pre-installed with a tube.
For all disc brake wheels this comes with a Continental TPU tube.
For all rim brake wheels this comes with a Continental race tube.
Which wheels should I buy?
Depending on your specific requirements for your wheels and the terrain you ride, we offer a variety of wheelsets. All Swiss Side road bike wheelsets are available with the Wheel Tire System. Our gravel wheelsets, however, are not sold with the Wheel Tire System.
Please have a look at our wheels to make sure you`ll find the best option.
