Swiss Side are long-term collaborators with DT Swiss, whose in-game wheels are familiar to any Zwift racer since they’re fast! Swiss Side helps optimize the aerodynamics of DT Swiss’ high-end wheel lines, while DT Swiss provides manufacturing capabilities and hubs for Swiss Side. The IRL HADRON Ultimate 650 is very similar to the DT Swiss ARC 1100 DICUT 65 – seemingly identical wheels, with different labels. But online specs peg the Swiss Side wheels as slightly lighter than the DT Swiss version, so the in-game specs reflect this.
In the end, the HADRON Ultimate 650 edges out the ARC 1100 DICUT 65 in performance, while being available at a slightly lower price and lower level unlock.
PERFORMANCE
Road & TT Performance
This chart shows how many seconds the wheelset saves across 1 hour of riding compared to our baseline Zwift’s 32mm Carbon wheelset on stage 0 Zwift Carbon and TT frames. This is based on a 75kg rider, 183cm tall, at 300 watts, riding on tarmac.
Engineered at the limit. The HADRON Ultimate 650 hits the UCI depth cap with a 65mm profile optimized for aero efficiency and stability. A refined rim shape reduces crosswind sensitivity while keeping drag low – built to hold speed and control when conditions aren’t perfect.
