Not your typical XC race wheel, and not a strength-first enduro wheel: Era SL is the happy medium, built for downcountry. Its 385g carbon rim is the lightest Race Face has ever produced, yet a 22mm depth keeps strength up for rough trails.

Highlights

• 29in front wheel, 15x110mm Boost axle
• 385g carbon rim with a 29mm internal width, for tyres up to 2.6in
• Race Face's most laterally compliant wheel, for less rider fatigue
• Vault 415 front hub with large-diameter bearings
• Tubeless ready, supplied taped with a valve
• Backed by Race Face's Lifetime Warranty, crashes included

Get racing, get rowdy

Low rotational mass lets Era SL spin up quickly and hold momentum, while a 22mm rim depth keeps strength up so you can push a short-travel bike into the rough stuff. The 29mm internal width suits low-pressure, high-traction tyres up to 2.6in.

Compliance in the Vault

Era SL is the most laterally compliant wheel Race Face makes, smoothing out small bumps and lowering rider fatigue. The Vault 415 front hub uses large-diameter bearings, and Race Face lists 15x110 Boost (F60100) and 15x110 Boost Torque Cap (F60122) endcaps for it.

Ratings

Race Face rates Era SL for a 130kg system weight (rider, bike and gear) and up to 140mm of rear wheel travel. 6-bolt versions are approved for e-bikes with up to 65Nm of drive-assist torque; Centre Lock versions are not eMTB approved.

Compatibility & fit

Fits forks with a 15x110mm Boost axle and a 29in wheel. Choose 6-bolt or Shimano Centre Lock to match your rotor. This is a single front wheel; tyre and disc rotor aren't included. Fitting isn't included. Our Marrickville workshop can fit the wheel, set it up tubeless and move your rotor across as a separate service.
