The Race Face ARC HD Offset 30/DT370 MX Custom MTB Wheelset - OE

Race Face ARC HD Offset 30/DT370 MX - 6 Bolt, Alloy, XD, a high-performance mountain bike wheelset designed for aggressive trail, enduro, and all-mountain riding. 

This Custom MX Mullet wheelset pairs Race Face's ARC HD Offset 30 alloy rims with DT Swiss 370 MX hubs, creating a strong, reliable, and versatile setup ideal for riders who demand durability and control on challenging terrain.

6-bolt rotor mounts and a SRAM XD driver designed for modern mountain bikes equipped with SRAM 12-speed drivetrains.

A MX MTB wheelset, often referred to as a "mullet" (combining a smaller rear wheel with a larger front wheel), offers several advantages:

MX "Mullet" Benefits

• Enhanced Stability and Traction:
  The 29-inch front wheel maintains the stability and smooth rollover of a larger wheel over rocks and roots. 
  Improved Maneuverability:
• The smaller 27.5-inch rear wheel allows for quicker acceleration, easier cornering, and a more playful feel, especially in tight turns and jumps. 
  Better Control on Technical Terrain:
• The combination provides improved confidence and control when riding through challenging or technical descents. 
  Increased Rear Clearance:
• A smaller rear wheel provides more distance between the rider and the rear tire, which can be beneficial on steep drops. 
  More Aggressive Riding Position:
• The setup can promote a more aggressive body position for descending

Key Features:

1. Race Face ARC HD Offset 30 Rims:

   • 30mm Internal Width: The 30mm internal rim width is optimized for wide tires (typically between 2.3" and 2.6"), giving the rider improved traction, stability, and control. The wider profile helps prevent tire roll and enhances cornering confidence, especially when riding at lower tire pressures.
   • Heavy-Duty (HD) Design: The ARC HD (Heavy Duty) rims are designed to withstand hard impacts and aggressive riding, making them ideal for enduro and all-mountain riders who push their equipment in demanding conditions.
   • 6069 Aluminum Construction: Constructed from 6069 aluminum, the rims offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring durability and resilience while maintaining a relatively lightweight build.
   • Offset Spoke Hole Design: The offset spoke hole design helps to balance spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides, improving overall wheel durability and stiffness.
   • Tubeless-Ready: The rims are tubeless-ready, allowing for easy setup with tubeless tires, which improves traction and reduces the risk of flats when running lower tire pressures.

2. DT Swiss 370 MX Hubs:

   • Durable and Low Maintenance: The DT Swiss 370 MX hubs are renowned for their reliability and easy maintenance, providing smooth and dependable performance over time.
   • Star Ratchet System: The 370 MX hubs use DT Swiss's reliable pawl engagement system, offering smooth power transfer and quick engagement for precise handling during technical climbs and descents.
   • Boost Hub Spacing: The front hub is spaced at 15x110mm Boost, and the rear hub is 12x148mm Boost, increasing the wheelset's stiffness and stability for better handling, especially in technical terrain.
   • 6-Bolt Rotor Mounting: The 6-bolt standard is used for mounting brake rotors, ensuring compatibility with most modern mountain bike disc brakes.
   • XD Driver: The rear hub comes equipped with a SRAM XD driver, making it compatible with SRAM 12-speed Eagle cassettes.

3. DT Swiss Competition Spokes:

   • The wheelset is laced with DT Swiss Competition double-butted spokes, offering a balance of strength and weight savings. The spoke pattern enhances the wheelset's stiffness and durability, ensuring that it can handle the impacts and stresses of aggressive riding.
