Looking for light carbon wheels that handle crosswinds well, similar to DT Swiss ARC DiCut 48 mm.
Thanks,

You have the rim profile of your current wheels here:
https://www.dtswiss.com/en/products/whe ... -dicut-48/
Study it carefully and compare with other wheels. Similar profile means similar crosswind performance.
To me looks like a toroidal profile a la zipp/enve/roval. Any of them should be pretty close. But to be safe better check yourself.
I like this profile myself but there are plenty of people here that would argue that it's not the most crosswind stable. You might want to look over your priorities.
Bontrager xxx 60mm were recently tested by hambini and scored impressingly, even when compared to deep wheels like zipp 808 (drag in a straight line). It could be the ultimate balance between weight and drag.
