"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I run the Era on my trail bike and it's one of the few carbon cranks I fully trust. It’s unbelievably stiff, super light, and I don’t have to stress about pedal insert failure or heel rub thanks to the stainless protection. It’s just next level.""When we're building a bike that needs to be as stylish and strong as it is light, the Race Face Era Crankset is at the top of our list. This carbon crank isn’t just engineered for high performance—it’s designed to endure the kind of chaos we love on fast, rocky, and unpredictable terrain. A stainless steel wear plate fends off shoe rub and pedal strikes, keeping our cranks looking fresh even after brutal days in the saddle. The Era features a fully reimagined pedal insert design, bonded directly into the carbon layup for max durability and stiffness. Paired with a 30mm spindle and Race Face’s proven CINCH interface, the Era offers broad drivetrain compatibility and simple chainring swaps. The 499g weight (with boots, spacers, and washers) is one of the lightest in its class—without compromising on confidence or control. With customizable crank boots and seven color options, we can finally ride carbon cranks that match our personality and our ride style."
