Raceface Aeffect R eMTB Wheel

While the hub spacing and diameter match many standard mountain bikes, this wheel is specifically engineered for the higher torque and weight loads of eMTBs. It features a reinforced steel axle and cassette body, which adds significant weight compared to a standard trail wheel, so it is best suited for e-bike applications.

The 30mm internal width is the current sweet spot for modern high-volume tires. It provides excellent sidewall support for tires ranging from 2.3 to 2.6 inches, helping to prevent tire squirm when cornering hard.

Yes, this specific model is equipped with a Shimano Micro Spline freehub body. Please ensure your cassette is compatible with the Micro Spline standard before purchasing.

The offset spoke bed allows for more balanced spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides of the wheel. This results in a laterally stiffer wheel that tracks better through technical terrain, which is particularly important when managing the extra weight of an e-bike.

Yes, the rim is tubeless ready. You will just need to add your preferred tubeless tape, valves, and sealant to complete the setup.

The hub features 10-degree engagement. While not the fastest engagement on the market, it provides a reliable, consistent power transfer that is robust enough to handle the sustained torque output of modern mid-drive e-bike motors.
