AR Offset 27 Boost Wheelset - Take Off

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The AR Offset Wheelset is one of the stronger value builds you can put together for a 29er trail or XC rig. The offset rim geometry equalizes spoke tension, the alloy construction holds up across a full season of hard riding, and the DT Swiss 370 hubs with XD freehub compatibility keep your cassette options wide open."

The 29-inch trail wheelset market is crowded, but the Race Face AR Offset Wheelset earns its place by solving a real structural problem. The AR rim profile uses a 4.5mm asymmetrical offset to shift the spoke bed toward the non-drive side, which brings both sides closer to equal tension, resulting in a wheel that is measurably stiffer under load and more consistent through high-lateral-force situations like hard cornering and braking.

The DT Swiss 370 hubs are a sensible and well-proven anchor for this build. XD freehub compatibility opens the door to SRAM's full 12-speed Eagle cassette range, and the DT Swiss ratchet engagement system delivers reliable, low-maintenance performance across seasons of hard use. Boost axle spacing at 15 x 110mm front and 12 x 148mm rear aligns with the broad majority of current trail and cross-country framesets, making fitment straightforward without adapters or workarounds.
