Race Face ERA SL Wheel Description:
The Race Face ERA SL wheel is packed with features that not only reduce weight and amp up performance that makes it a great option for a XC racing mountain bike, but they also add a great deal of toughness so the wheel is the perfect lightweight upgrade for riding every day on a shorter travel mountain bike. On the outside, an asymmetric rim featuring Anvil Edge bead walls, an offset spoke nipple bed, and a shallow 22mm rim depth combine together to produce a rim with an optimal balance between compliance, stiffness, and toughness. At the center of the wheel is a Vault hub with an oversized hub shell, large diameter bearings with low drag labyrinth seals, and a freehub with 3 degrees of engagement that further contributes to the lighter weight of the wheels, reduces maintenance, and adds to this wheels excellent stiffness. Tying the hub and rim together is 28 butted, straight pull spokes that not only are lighter in weight than a j-bend spoke, they eliminate a common failure point and give this wheel a forgiving ride so the rider will have more energy for the final push to the end of the ride.
Features:
- At 385 grams, the carbon fiber Era SL rim produces a wheel with very low rotational mass for very rapid acceleration and an easier time going uphill
- Asymmetric rim cross-section with an offset nipple bed balances spoke tension between the drive side and non-drive side spokes for improved strength and stability
- Anvil Edge bead wall of the rim disperses impacts over a flatter, broader area which reduces the chance of pinching and damaging the tires
- 29mm internal rim width supports up to 2.6″ wide tires and is compatible with tubeless ready tires
- 22mm rim depth provides excellent durability and has an ideal balance between compliance and stiffness, producing a wheel with great comfort, cornering performance, and traction
- 60-tooth drive ring with six pawls and two teeth per pawl along with a lightweight spring rate provide a near instantaneous 3 degrees of engagement and very low drag when not pedaling
- Oversized hub shells, wide bearing spacing, and large diameter bearings with low drag labyrinth seals create light, rugged, laterally rigid, and fast rolling hubs that are able to be serviced as needed
- Wheels come with tubeless tape and tubeless valves pre-installed from the factory
- Hubs accept 6-bolt disc rotors (maximum rotor size is 225mm)
