Aeffect R eMTB is an eMTB Built rear wheel, designed by Race Face around the compatibility constraints and higher loads of full-power e-bikes. A burly 32-hole 6069 alloy rim meets the Trace eMTB hub with a steel axle. Pair it with the Aeffect R front wheel for a tough e-bike wheelset.

Highlights

  • eMTB Built: made for the increased loads and forces of full-power e-bikes
  • 6069 alloy rim, 30mm internal and 34mm external width, tubeless ready
  • 32 J-bend spokes, 2.0/1.8/2.0 butted, laced 3-cross on a 4.5mm offset spoke bed
  • Trace eMTB hub with cartridge bearings, 10-degree engagement and a steel axle
  • 5 spare spokes included
  • Backed by Race Face's Lifetime Warranty, crashes included

Charged up and ready

The Aeffect R eMTB rim sports a 30mm inner width and is tubeless ready. Its 32-hole, 4.5mm offset spoke bed balances spoke tension for a stiffer, stronger wheel that stands up to trail and all-mountain punishment under the extra weight and torque of an e-bike.

Trace eMTB hub

The Trace eMTB hub keeps it simple: durable cartridge bearings, 10-degree engagement and a tough steel axle, with steel cassette body options. This listing offers Shimano Microspline, Shimano HG and SRAM XD versions; the table below shows which combinations are available.

Compatibility & fit

Choose the axle that matches your frame (12x148mm Boost or 12x157mm Super Boost) and the freehub that matches your cassette. The hub takes a 6-bolt disc rotor. Race Face pairs this rear wheel with the Aeffect R front wheel for a complete eMTB wheelset. This is a single wheel; tyre, disc rotor and cassette aren't included. Fitting isn't included. Our Marrickville workshop can fit the wheel, set it up tubeless and move your rotor and cassette across as a separate service.

Sizes & options

Every option is a black, 32-hole Aeffect R eMTB rear wheel. Not every freehub comes in every size and axle.

Race Face Lifetime Warranty, crashes included. Race Face covers its wheels for their expected usable life of regular riding, including damage from crashes while you're riding, whether the wheel came on a new bike or was bought as an upgrade. It doesn't cover normal wear and tear such as hub bearings or dings and flat spots in alloy rims, intentional damage, or damage that doesn't happen while riding (a roof-rack strike, for example). For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with Ride Fox Australia, Race Face's Australian distributor.
