The regular version of the White has more points of engagement than the average Dicta/Shimano/etc.... I've got one. What you're calling an off road version, is meant for trials (not trails) riding, and by all accounts, has a lot of drag. Six pawls will do that. The regular version has three pawls, and similar POE to a four pawl ACS. The difference being, the ACS engages two pawls at a time, while the White engages all three every time. The White trials freewheel engages three of its six pawls at a time, to double its POE.
Most conventional freewheels only have two pawls.
