Vitesse et maniabilité ultimes avec le pneu Continental Aero 111!

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. The result: The Continenteal AERO 111 Tire in combination with our HADRON² wheels, offering not only best aero performance but also optimal puncture resistance and exceptional rolling resistance.

What is a Wheel Tire System (WTS)?

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.

Which wheels and tires include the Wheel Tire System?

You can choose your Swiss Side wheels and we will install the Wheel Tire System with a Continental AERO 111 (front) and a Continental GP 5000 S TR 28 Tire (rear). The wheel tires system will arrive with pre-mounted tires at your delivery address.

When buying the Wheel Tire System you can save 100 € in the end.

What are the benefits of a Wheel Tire System?

Besides the aerodynamic optimisation of your bike set up you`ll gain significant time saving at any speed (see graph below).

With the Continental AERO 111 and a 50mm deep rim, it is possible to gain the same benefits as with a 62mm deep rim. The aerodynamic performance of the rim can increase the overall aero-performance by using the Continental AERO 111.

What is special about the tire?

The AERO 111 tire stands out with its distinctive design—48 evenly distributed cavities across its surface, known as vortex generators. These innovative features are key to controlling airflow turbulence over the front wheel, creating a “perfected storm” that significantly reduces drag across the entire wheel-tire system (WTS). We started testing established tire technologies and reimagined the surface structure from the ground up. The result is a tire that not only looks unique but also integrates seamlessly with our Aero & Endurance wheels, delivering measurable performance gains across a variety of conditions.

Drag performance diagram

The AERO 111 is a tire like no other that operates on any wheel in any conditions delivering true quantifiable performance improvements.

The beauty of the AERO 111 tire is that it delivers a speed- independent sailing effect and handling improvement.

This means that the average rider at 30 km/h will benefit the most. We call this the «democratisation of wheel aero performance».

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 about 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.
