Product Info
The Race Face Era Handlebar represents a revolutionary new approach to handlebar compliance. Through rigorous testing and rider feedback, Race Face honed in on a Goldilocks Tune defining the balance of vertical compliance and lateral stiffness preferred by 85% of riders. The Race Face Era Handlebar is the result – an all new line featuring width specific carbon layups engineered to minimize arm pump and hand fatigue. Designed to be trimmed no more than 10-15mm, the Era provides the best possible compliance and ride feel at every width.
Product Details
Construction
96-Piece UD Carbon Layup – With Era carbon bars, Race Face optimized compliance by creating bar-specific carbon layups. That meant tuning the placement, angle and quantity of nearly 100 pieces of unidirectional carbon, each about 1/10th of a millimeter thick. Hand-laid carbon fibre bound with a toughened epoxy resin ensures the highest strength to weight ratio of any bar they have tested.
Dimensions
Rise – 35mm
Sweep – 8° Back, 5° Up
Features
GL Tune – Race Face set out to find the optimal balance of vertical compliance and lateral stiffness (based entirely on rider feedback) and found that 85% of riders preferred one particular sweet spot of vertical compliance. That number is what they now refer to as the Goldilocks Tune or GL Tune. Anything higher than this number was too stiff, anything lower was too flexible.

Biking Type
Mountain Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

Used For
Cross Country With speed and pedaling efficiency in mind, cross country (XC) bikes are the lightest mountain bikes with the least suspension travel (typically 0 - 120mm). Trail Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike. Enduro If you’re looking for maximum performance while flying down heavier trails, an enduro bike is for you. These bikes combine ample suspension travel (typically 150mm+) with descent-focused frame geometry and components that allow for reasonably efficient pedaling. Downhill For bike park days and shuttle laps, there’s nothing like a downhill (DH) bike. Designed to tackle the roughest trails at high speeds, these bikes have long suspension travel (typically 170mm+), huge brakes, and unreal descending capabilities. DH bikes are not as suitable for tight trails or climbing.
