Era is expected to last five times as long as a typical alloy ring for less than twice the cost. By bonding three parts made from optimal materials, we made a chainring with the weight of aluminum and the lifespan of steel. Era is a chainring without compromise.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between DM and DMW chainlines?
Selecting the correct chainline depends on your bike’s specific drivetrain requirements and spindle setup:
- DM (Direct Mount): Designed for a 52 mm chainline when paired with an RF136 spindle (3 mm offset).
- DMW (Direct Mount Wide): Designed for a 55 mm chainline when paired with an RF136 spindle (0 mm offset).
Refer to your current crank and bicycle specifications to ensure you select the version that matches your frame’s spacing requirements.
Does the chainring include crash protection in its warranty?
Yes, the Era Chainring is backed by a comprehensive lifetime warranty that specifically includes coverage for damage sustained during crashes, providing you with peace of mind while riding aggressive trails.
Is the chainring easy for home mechanics to install?
Yes, the Era Chainring is designed for the Race Face CINCH direct mount system, making it very straightforward to install and swap at home. The modular design allows for quick ring changes, meaning you can easily maintain your bike without needing a professional mechanic. For the best results, ensure you are using a compatible CINCH crankset and follow the standard installation procedures for direct-mount chainrings.
Are the chainring teeth made of stainless steel?
Yes, the Era Chainring features precision-engineered stainless steel teeth. This specialized construction is designed to provide up to five times the wear life of standard aluminum chainrings, making it an exceptionally durable choice for demanding trail and enduro riding.
What is the weight of the 32T model?
The Era Chainring in a 32T, DMW configuration weighs just 83g. Despite its extreme durability, the clever use of co-molded carbon fiber and aluminum ensures it remains as lightweight as a standard alloy equivalent.
