[MECHANIC'S COMMENT]

This wheelset pairs the Race Face ARC 40 —a long-standing favorite among MTB rims— with the VELOCITY Race Disc Hub from the long-established Florida-based brand VELOCITY.

The wide 40mm rim width firmly supports wider tires, delivering stable cornering performance and high traction even at low tire pressures. It’s not only ideal for trail riding but also pairs perfectly with bikepacking and adventure bikes.

The paired VELOCITY hub offers high reliability and excellent maintainability thanks to its simple design. Without flashy noises or excessive fuss, it provides the practicality to last for years.

Now, in the heyday of wide rims, this practical combination deserves a fresh look.

“More freedom with wider tires.”

This wheelset isn’t just visually striking—it transforms the riding experience itself. It’s a reliable setup for a wide range of terrain, from trails to touring.

*This model features a thru-axle design. Quick-release (QR) skewers and QR adapters are not included.

What exactly are bicycle wheels? They are essential components that allow a bicycle to move forward, and as the saying goes, “Style starts from the feet,” so they also have a significant impact on the bike’s appearance. These “wheels” are truly, truly important components. This time, we’re not going to talk about performance—we’re going to talk about how they’re built.

In the world of bicycle wheels, there are two types: “pre-built” and “hand-built.”

“Factory-built” wheels are those shipped by the wheel manufacturer in a finished state, and shop mechanics like us generally don’t need to make any major adjustments to them.(Minor adjustments are necessary, and there are some that, well, are simply hopeless without a bit of tinkering.) Due to this production method, some wheels are tuned for a general audience or for professional or pro-level riders, and they aren’t built with each individual customer in mind.

That’s where “hand-built” wheels—Circles’ specialty—come in.

The advantage of “hand-built” wheels is exactly what the name implies: by selecting each component one by one and assembling them ourselves, we can create wheels that are a perfect fit for the rider.
