Race Face Era 30mm Carbon MTB Rear Wheel – 27.5in, 12x148mm Boost, SRAM XD, Centre Lock
SKU code: RFX-RW94400010
Era is Race Face's carbon wheel for riders who want strength, compliance and low weight without trade-offs. The rear wheel's deeper rim profile is built to withstand full-time enduro punishment while staying light enough for agile climbing, and Race Face backs it with a Lifetime Warranty, crashes included.

- Carbon rim, 30mm internal and 37.2mm external width
- Deeper rear rim profile for enduro strength
- Controlled lateral compliance helps the wheel track through rough sections
- Vault 424 (12x148 Boost) or Vault 422 (12x157 Super Boost) rear hub
- 28 straight-pull spokes, 2.0/1.65/2.0 butted, 3-cross, 4mm offset
- Tubeless ready, supplied taped with a valve; 5 spare spokes included
- Backed by Race Face's Lifetime Warranty, crashes included
Harshness has no home here
Era allows just enough lateral rim deflection to keep you glued to your line in rough sections, while its lateral stiffness gives a firm carbon snap-back out of corners and berms. Predictable, efficient tracking lets you focus on the trail instead of your wheels.
E-bike use
Race Face approves only the 6-bolt Era wheels for eMTB use, with a maximum drive-assist torque of 65Nm; Centre Lock Era wheels are not approved for e-bikes. The total system weight (rider, bike and gear) must stay within 140kg.
Compatibility & fit
Choose the axle that matches your frame, the freehub that matches your cassette (Shimano Microspline or SRAM XD) and the rotor mount that matches your rotor (6-bolt or Shimano Centre Lock). Centre Lock rears are 12x148mm Boost only. 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.
