Race Face ERA Handlebar

The GL Tune process is designed to balance vertical compliance with lateral stiffness. This means the handlebar is stiff enough to provide precise steering input, but it flexes slightly on impacts to absorb trail chatter, which helps reduce hand fatigue and arm pump on long descents.

Yes, the ERA Carbon handlebar is fully rated for both Class 1 and Class 3 e-Mountain Bikes. It is built with the extra durability required to handle the increased weight and forces associated with e-MTB riding.

This handlebar features a 35.0 mm clamp diameter. You will need a stem specifically designed for 35.0 mm bars to ensure a secure and safe fit.

Yes, you can cut the handlebar down to your preferred width. However, ensure you use a fine-tooth hacksaw and follow standard carbon cutting procedures, such as wrapping the area with masking tape to prevent splintering.

The narrower clamping area is an intentional design choice that allows for more of the carbon fiber to flex under load. This increases the overall compliance of the bar, providing a smoother ride quality without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for aggressive riding.

This bar features an 8-degree backsweep and a 5-degree upsweep. These angles are standard for modern trail and enduro riding, designed to place your wrists and elbows in a natural, ergonomic position that reduces strain during technical maneuvers.
