Race Face's Era SL wheels are designed for trail biking, weighing just 1,530g for a wheelset. They combine lightweight performance with durable reliability, suited for long-travel bikes. The rims, at 385g, are the lightest produced by Race Face, enhancing acceleration and handling. The wheels have undergone design upgrades for better ride quality, catering to a range of trails from cross-country to mountain descents. A Center Lock version is expected soon, weighing 1480g, though not e-MTB rated, appealing to weight-conscious cyclists.
If you need convincing, read on for my review... Light Done Right. At just 1,530g (claimed) for a wheelset, they're respectably light. That number isn't pushing any boundaries for XC wheels, but after riding them for several months, I say they ride lighter than that number suggests.
With 385g rims, which is the lightest rim Race Face has ever made, they accelerate quickly and turn sharp. So, even though some ultralight wheelsets come in 200-ish grams lighter, few have lighter rims (because there's a limit to what's possible), so these wheels' outer rotational weight is on par with the lightest options on the market.
