Race Face ARC Carbon Rim

This rim is built to be a true all-rounder. Its carbon layup is tough enough for aggressive gravity and enduro riding, but light enough that it won't feel sluggish on cross-country or all-mountain rides.

The 4.5mm offset is a significant advantage because it helps equalize spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides. This results in a laterally stiffer, more stable wheel that holds its true longer under hard cornering.

Yes, the ARC Carbon features a tubeless-ready bead design engineered for secure tire retention. It works seamlessly with standard tubeless tape and valves, ensuring your tires stay seated even at lower pressures.

Absolutely. The rim is rated for eMTB use, as the unidirectional carbon construction provides the extra stiffness and durability required to handle the added weight and torque of an electric mountain bike.

The 31mm width is generally the sweet spot for standard trail tires, offering a good balance of support without squaring off the profile. If you prefer running wider, high-volume tires for extra traction, the 36mm option provides better sidewall support.

No, it uses standard spoke counts (28 or 32 hole) and standard J-bend or straight-pull hubs, making it compatible with most custom wheel builds. Just ensure your spoke lengths are calculated correctly to account for the 4.5mm offset.
