Product description
A Perfected Storm.
Introducing the AERO 111 – the next generation in tire performance, developed in collaboration with DT Swiss and Swiss Side. Featuring an innovative and aerodynamically-optimized tread, this tire is engineered to effortlessly cut through the air like never before. The tread's 48 precision-formed, vortex-generating cavities create controlled turbulence, ensuring prolonged airflow attachment to the rim, resulting in reduced aerodynamic drag and improved crosswind stability.
The AERO 111 also incorporates all the winning technologies from the GP5000 TR Family: Black Chili Compound for superior grip and minimal rolling resistance, coupled with the trusted Vectran Breaker for added puncture protection. It’s the ultimate aerodynamic tire – without compromise.
| ETRTO | Dimension | Weight (g) | Color | bar (rec. max) | PSI (rec. max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26-622 | 700 x 26C | 245 | Black TLR | 5.0-7.0 | 73-109 |
| 29-622 | 700 x 29C | 270 | Black TLR | 5.0-7.0 | 56-73 |
Vortex generators
The aero-optimized tread pattern certainly looks different: 48 little cavities are regularly distributed over its surface. These so-called‘vortex generators’are the very feature that manage to control the turbulence in the airflow on the surface of the front wheel. Ultimately, this results in a perfected storm that allows for the reduction of drag of the entire wheel tire system.
Sailing effect
Without AERO 111
The rider benefits less from the sailing effect because the early airflow separation increases the turbulent air flow. Thus, increasing aerodynamic drag of the wheel-tire system.
Sailing effect
With AERO 111
The sailing effect (forward acting force) increases. Even with lower rim profiles the rider benefits from this effect because the laminar airflow stays adjacent to the rim for a longer time. Thus, decreasing aerodynamic drag of the wheel-tire system at all speeds.

Drag performance
- Aero, grippy and fast: It is the go-to tire for road cyclists who know that every watt counts
- Vortex Generators allow for the reduction of aerodynamic drag of the entire wheel-tire-system
- Improved handling in crosswinds through enhancing the sailing effect
- Vectran Breaker for unparalled puncture protection
Swiss Sideare the industry leader in aero-dynamics. With over 20 years of experience in both Formula 1 and cycling, they are renowned for utilising the latest technologies and methodologies in computational aerodynamics and real-world testing.
BlackChili compound is renowned for its perfect balance of grip and low rolling resistance. For AERO 111 we use a race-optimized BlackChili, offering low rolling resistance in combination with excellent grip in wet and dry conditions.
Vectran, our patented technology from the GP5000 family. Selected for AERO 111 because of its unparalleled level of protection from sharp foreign objects, whilst not affecting rolling resistance.
All Tubeless Ready tires have been designed with versatility in mind. It’s your choice: set up tubeless using Conti RevoSealant or use an innertube.
