Play the long game.
Don’t mess with the best.
Spidey strength.
Everlasting. Light.
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
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.
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.
Is the chainring teeth made of stainless steel?
Yes, the Era Chainring features precision-engineered stainless steel teeth. This specialized construction allows the chainring to offer five times the wear life of standard aluminum chainrings, making it an exceptionally durable choice for trail and enduro riding.
Does the hybrid design compromise on weight?
Not at all. By strategically bonding three distinct components using optimal materials, we have engineered a chainring that achieves the lightweight profile of aluminum while maintaining the rugged endurance typically found only in steel.
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.
Can this handle the torque of an aggressive rider?
Yes, the Era Chainring is engineered specifically to handle the high-torque demands of aggressive Enduro and Trail riding. Its construction features a co-molded carbon fiber spider that provides exceptional structural integrity, allowing you to ride hard without worrying about flexing or component failure under pressure.
