Race Face Arc

The asymmetric design shifts the spoke holes slightly off-center. This allows for more balanced spoke tension between the drive side and non-drive side of the wheel, resulting in a stronger, more durable build that resists lateral flex better than traditional symmetrical rims.

Yes, it is specifically engineered for aggressive trail, All-Mountain, and enduro riding. The carbon layup is designed to handle the high-impact forces of technical descents while remaining light enough for efficient climbing.

The 36mm internal width is optimized for modern, high-volume tires, typically ranging from 2.4 inches up to 2.8 inches. This wider profile provides better sidewall support, allowing you to run lower tire pressures for increased traction without the tire feeling squirmy in corners.

While the rims are tubeless-ready and perform best that way, they are compatible with both tubeless and standard clincher tire setups. If you choose to run tubes, ensure your tire and tube combination is compatible with the rim's bead profile.

Choosing between 28 and 32 spokes depends on your riding style and weight. A 32-spoke build offers maximum stiffness and durability for heavier riders or extremely rough terrain, while a 28-spoke build saves a small amount of weight and provides a slightly more compliant ride feel.

Yes, these rims are designed exclusively for disc brake systems. They do not feature a braking surface for rim brakes, so they will not work with traditional V-brakes or rim-caliper setups.
