Era Chainring

Buy Now

Play the long game.

The Era ring is made of three parts, letting us use the best-performing material for each. For the teeth, that’s stainless steel, which is stronger (and harder) than titanium with a wear life five times that of aluminum.

Don’t mess with the best.

The aluminum crank interface is tried, tested and proven on Race Face chainrings. It’s light, it’s durable and with CINCH it’s easy to swap out ring sizes.

Spidey strength.

Binding it all together is the carbon fiber spider, compressed and co-molded using the same process we developed for Era carbon cranks. This little spider can withstand the torque of a 5.9L Cummins diesel engine. We checked.

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.

1 full year and still kicking

Light and strong, the teeth are in great shape even after a full year of riding multiple days a week.

Light, durable, lots of options

I had to find a ring that would accommodate a DUB wide frame spacing with the crank I had and this ring was available. It's just as light as any other ring and it should last longer than the next chainline standard.

Thank you, Todd, for your positive feedback. We're glad the Era Chainring meets your needs and performs well. We appreciate your support!

I chose the Era Carbon chainring for its clever use of engineered materials

I chose the Era Carbon chainring for its clever use of engineered materials. Would an Aluminum chainring have done the job? Sure! But the Era offers the weight of Aluminum with much better wear performance. This was a no-brainer for the very dusty conditions we have.

Worth the expense

After one full season of these on 2 of my primary bikes, the chainrings show no wear and chain stretch has been slowed immensely. With cassettes and quality chains costing so much, these will pay for themselves and save me time replacing drivetrain parts. They have also taken hard hits without issue so far and run quieter than alloy rings.

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 it work with my Shimano 12-speed setup?

Yes, the Era Chainring is available with a SHI12 tooth profile, which is specifically designed for compatibility with Shimano 12-speed HG+ chains. We also offer a standard NW (Narrow-Wide) profile for other modern 10, 11, and 12-speed systems.

Will this chainring fit my crank set?

This chainring is specifically designed for CINCH direct mount cranks.

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.

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.
