Race Face Era Crankset
The Race Face Era Crankset is the strongest, stiffest and most durable carbon crankset ever made by Race Face. Featuring a full carbon fiber construction with redesigned pedal inserts that are bonded directly to the carbon layup, this crankset efficiently transfers your power to the pedals while keeping weight low.
In addition, the cranks use stainless steel wear plates on each crank arm. These guard against damage caused by footwear friction while adding additional impact protection. The Race Face crankset uses the CINCH direct mount interface and 30 mm spindle. It fits virtually any frame when used with the correct bottom bracket.
