Frequently asked questions
Does the carbon fiber design require professional installation?
While the Era Handlebar is designed for durability and ease of use, it is a high-performance carbon component. To ensure the best experience and long-term integrity, keep these assembly tips in mind: <ul><li>Stem Compatibility: Verify your stem clamp width does not exceed 60mm; these are not compatible with wide-format direct mount stems.</li><li>Torque Specs: Always use a torque wrench to ensure you do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended clamping force.</li><li>Carbon Prep: Use a high-quality carbon assembly paste to ensure a secure, slip-free fit without over-tightening.</li></ul>
Can I use these bars with a direct mount stem?
No, the Era Handlebar is not compatible with Direct Mount stems. Please ensure your bike setup uses a standard stem with a maximum clamp width of 60mm.
Is this a significant weight upgrade from aluminum?
Users who have switched from aluminum to the Era carbon bars report that they are substantially lighter, helping to improve the overall handling and feel of the bike.
Is the carbon design intentional for high-speed riding?
Yes. The bar was developed specifically to let you ride harder and faster. By reducing the harsh feedback from the trail, it allows you to maintain better control and focus during aggressive descents.
Is the carbon material genuinely durable?
The Era handlebar is built for toughness. Because Race Face is confident in the high-quality carbon layup and construction, they back it with a Lifetime Warranty that covers crashes.
How does the handlebar feel on rough trails?
Riders describe the feel as ‘quiet’ and compliant. The carbon construction excels at dampening trail chatter, providing a smooth and controlled experience even when riding fast through chunky terrain.
