The Era SL represents Race Face's most weight-conscious rim engineering to date, tipping the scales at just 385 grams. This minimal rotational mass translates to responsive acceleration and sustained climbing efficiency—critical advantages for competitive cross-country riders tackling technical terrain. Built as a complete wheelset, it delivers the lightweight performance demanded by serious XC athletes seeking an edge on demanding courses.
Get rowdy.
The Era SL's 22mm rim depth maintains structural integrity while resisting deflection through aggressive terrain, giving you confidence to attack technical features without compromise. Its 29mm internal width accommodates up to 2.6-inch tires, enabling the low-pressure setup that maximizes traction and rolling efficiency across variable trail conditions.
Compliance in the Vault
Paired with Race Face's Vault Hub, the Era SL delivers enhanced lateral compliance that absorbs trail chatter and reduces cumulative fatigue without sacrificing pedaling efficiency. The hub's 3-degree engagement and oversized bearings ensure longevity through sustained use, maintaining smooth rotation through seasons of demanding riding.
Ride Light. Log Miles. Get Loose.
The Era SL occupies a purposeful middle ground between dedicated XC race wheels and burly enduro designs, engineered for riders who demand versatility across varied terrain and riding styles. This balanced approach delivers competitive performance without sacrificing the durability needed for all-day trail exploration, making it ideal for those unwilling to compromise on either front.
