Race Face Era SL Handlebar - Black

Designed with a flippable +6mm / -6mm rise, the Era SL bar allows precise cockpit height adjustment without altering fit so riders can maintain consistent back sweep and up sweep in either orientation.

Pair it with the Turbine SL stem for up to 24mm of total cockpit height adjustability, allowing the freedom to dial in position for XC racing, long trail days, or aggressive Downcountry descending.

Feel the sweet spot

Not too stiff. Not too soft. Era SL delivers the balanced ride feel XC racers and Downcountry riders demand. Its precise carbon layup features their meticulously developed Goldilocks (GL) Tune—the sweet spot of compliance preferred by most riders. Responsive under power, forgiving when the trail gets rough.

Your style. Your way.

Offered in Silver, Stealth, and Kashmoney finishes to complete your cockpit aesthetic. However you run it, or flip it, the artwork is designed to look right. Always balanced. Always dialled.

Lightweight, flippable, comfort.

At just 170g, Era SL is the lightest handlebar in its 35mm class. With a consistent bend and sweep in both +6mm and –6mm rise positions, it delivers the same fit and feel no matter how you run it. Whether you're chasing PRs or exploring new trails, the Goldilocks (GL) Tuned Era SL is engineered to reduce fatigue, even on the roughest Downcountry descents. Lifetime warranty, crashes included.

Best for: XC and downcountry riders prioritising lightweight performance and precise cockpit tuning.
