Race Face

ERA SL 29in Boost Wheel

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These wheels strike a rare balance of crazy lightness for climbing and XC and way more durability than you'd expect. I’ve hammered them through rough trail sections, and they’ve held true. The Vault hubs engage instantly, and the carbon layup softens up the ride just enough without feeling flexy."

Race Face’s Era SL Wheels were built for riders who want XC race speed without giving up the durability needed for technical descents and high-mileage trail missions. At just 385g per rim, they’re the lightest carbon hoops Race Face has ever made, delivering ultra-fast acceleration and reduced rotational mass. But the performance doesn’t stop at weight. The 29mm internal width supports modern, high-volume tires, giving riders more grip and stability with less rolling resistance at lower pressures. The 22mm rim depth delivers increased lateral compliance to smooth out small trail impacts and reduce fatigue during long efforts, while the asymmetric profile improves spoke balance for more even tension and a stronger build.

Laced to Race Face’s Vault hubs, these wheels spin on oversized bearings and offer an ultra-responsive 3-degree engagement, perfect for tight switchbacks, techy climbs, or quick getaways out of corners. The Era SL is ready for everything from podiums to backcountry adventures and offers a perfect balance of lightness, ride quality, and reliability for XC and trail riders alike.
