Race Face Launches Era SL XC + Trail Wheels 1

As short travel bikes (120–140mm) grow in popularity, riders are pushing them harder, demanding more from every component — especially wheels. Enter Era SL: Lighter than Enduro, built burlier than XC. Wheels for riders who want to race, rally, and go the distance – all on the same wheelset.

A New Carbon Breed.

Era SL wheels combine strength, ride feel, and weight savings into one package — the perfect partner for your small travel rig. They’re compliant enough to smooth out rough terrain, and light enough to race. Whether you’re chasing a podium at BC Bike Race, heading out for an alpine epic, or throwing yourself headfirst into some rough-and-rowdy trail laps, Era SL is ready.

Light Enough to Climb. Tough Enough to Rally.

At just 385 grams per rim and 1530 grams per wheelset (6-bolt), Era SL offers Race Face’s lightest carbon rims to date — competitive with ultralight XC offerings, but built with the durability and compliance needed for bigger days.

XC Needs Compliance Too.

Fatigue is just as much—if not more—of a concern in short-travel applications and Era SL wheels deliver 8.6% more lateral compliance than our enduro-rated Era wheels — reducing fatigue while maintaining efficient power transfer.

Tested. Proven. Vault Hubs.

The tried-and-true Vault hub system delivers 3° engagement, oversized bearings for increased durability, and tool-free serviceability. Designed for consistent, reliable performance on long rides, rough terrain, and hard efforts.
