ARC 31s are downhill ready! I run tubeless and love these rims. We were specific as we hunted for my next wheel set and these ARC 31 rims kept rising to the top. We built them up from scratch and they handle everything that I have thrown at them. This is my go-to rim.

Which says a lot.

I've been abusing these rims for a few years now. I'm pretty rough on my equipment, and these have held up. I built these wheels because I was tired of destroying even good DH aluminum wheels.

The ONLY problem I have had was a bit of a freak accident. A sharp edged rock rolled down a hillside that I was flying down at the bike park and I hit it head on with my front wheel. It cracked the carbon. I've had massive hard hits on the rear, even pinch flatting DD tires, but no wheel damage. I didn't even know the rim was damaged, I thought it was just chipped). I rode that damaged rim for the next 2 years! Still taking massive hits. Only recently did I need to retake the rim after changing tires and it wouldn't hold air any more. Yes, it held air with a crack too. It never completely failed.

I contacted RF for a replacement, and I received a warranty replacement with zero questions asked (besides receipt and photo).

There was a mixup with an order I placed for a wheel on the black Friday deal and Tanner really went out of his way to make sure it was resolved and that I was completely satisfied. I know I was a huge pain in the a** As we had quite a few emails going back-and-forth and I changed the order a couple times. Still, he was very responsive, very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I was ordering exactly what I wanted. Race face is so good at what they do. The only downside is that whenever I start snooping around their website, my bank account seems to be drained shortly afterwards because they make awesome components and usually have great sales.

As far as the rims themselves go, I have not received them yet, but I have five other Next R 31 wheels and this will be my first set of 36’s. There’s a reason I keep buying these wheels and it’s because they’ just work. So far, I’ve found them to be very stiff, lightweight, and completely bombproof. They stay true and look great.

If you’re considering buying the ARC carbons rims, I would definitely say it’s worth it, especially if you value performance and customer service!

Amazing rims so far!

I purchased a set of these rims about a year ago, built them up onto some DT 350 hubs and they have been flawless ever since. Noticabley stiffer than my ENVE wheelset, both have 28 spokes. A year in, the rim is still dent free and running true. Only issue is that the stock decals are super flimsy and tear easily. I removed the decals so I now have raw uni-directional carbon rims that look sweet!
