Race Face launches Era SL 1530 g MTB wheelset
The new Era SL wheelset from Canadian brand Race Face adds to the growing category of bikes and components that combine XC weight with durability and compliance for "trail" riding. Designed for short travel bikes – from 120 to 140 mm of suspension – Era SL wheels are reportedly "compliant enough to smooth out rough terrain, and light enough to race." At 1530 g per wheelset, Race Face claims the Era SL to be its lightest rim yet, featuring "8.6% more lateral compliance than our enduro-rated Era wheels."
Era SL rims are 22 mm deep with 29 mm internal width that can accommodate up to a 29 x 2.6" tire. Complete wheelsets come laced to the brand's mainstay Vault hubs via 28 straight-pull spokes. Era SL wheelset pricing is US$1,650 / CA$2,198 / EU€1,748.
