Race Face ERA Direct Mount/Narrow Wide Chainring

ERA CHAINRING IS A PRODUCT FOR THE DREAM BUILDERS AND THE OBSESSIONISTS. It’s about investing in your bike for the long-term payoff. Put this ring on and forget about dropped chains, but don’t compromise on weight. Steel teeth, carbon spider, and an aluminium CINCH interface. With the weight of aluminium and the lifespan of steel, Era is a chainring without compromise.

Ever hear the saying, “Buy once, cry once, or buy twice and pay the price?” Well, that’s the angle that Race Face is playing with their new Era chainring.

VitalMTB has reviewed the Race Face ERA Cranks. Here is what they had to say: 

Carbon cranks have a bit of a spotty track record, at times setting the internet on fire with horror stories and pictures of snapped crankarms. When carbon cranks first appeared in mountain biking, they were by far the lightest options out there, and the early versions probably went too far with the weight savings without having properly validated the longevity and durability of the construction.

BikePerfect has reviewed the Race Face ERA Cranks. Here is what they had to say:

Race Face claimed to have designed the best mountain bike crank available and after several months testing I’m inclined to agree. Access to that super light, color coded but trail tough and lifetime warrantied performance comes with a high entrance cost though. Watt watchers are left out too.
