The Era handlebar was designed from the ground up, narrowing the stem clamp area to allow both a quicker taper and an earlier rise to achieve RaceFace's meticulously researched Goldilocks (GL) tune. GL tune is the sweet spot for compliance preferred by most riders; stiffer was too harsh, softer was too flexible.
Nearly 100 individual pieces of hand-laid carbon fiber are bound together using a toughened epoxy resin, with a specific layup for each bar variant. The result is the highest strength-to-weight ratio
UD Carbon design and construction reduces arm pump and hand fatigue. Ride harder, ride faster and enjoy a consistently compliant feel in every width and every rise
Max stem clamp width is 60mm (not compatible with wider stems, like Direct Mount stems)
Designed for the abuse of All-Mountain and Enduro riding, even on full-power e-bikes

Great softer materials but not the same support as the previous season. Pockets are large enough to fit stuff but the straps don’t support well. No chance you’re getting a water bottle in there. Also the bin straps position themselves right on top of your nipples. You’re going to notice that after an hour of pedaling and sweating.
I really liked the previous version so
Much that I wore 2 pairs out with 6000 miles. These new ones will be lucky to make it into rotation.
