Era SL is Race Face's ultralight carbon crankset for XC and downcountry riders who want to save weight without buying something fragile. At 354g, Race Face calls it the lightest mainstream crankset on the market, and it's backed by a Lifetime Warranty with crashes included.

Highlights

  • 354g, the lightest mainstream crankset on the market by Race Face's measure
  • Carbon fibre arms with a stainless steel wear plate placed where shoes and clipless pedals rub
  • 30mm 7000-series aluminium alloy spindle, 136mm long
  • 52mm chainline with a DM ring, 55mm with a DMW ring
  • Narrow 170mm Q-factor including pedal washers
  • Four arm lengths from 160 to 175mm

Precise protection, minimal grams

The stainless steel wear plate is minimised and positioned to shield the high-wear contact zones caused by rider shoes and the extra articulation of modern clipless pedals. You get the protection where it matters without carrying extra weight.

One size doesn't fit all

Some riders spin a high cadence; others push big watts. Era SL comes in 160, 165, 170 and 175mm so you can dial in fit, efficiency and power delivery.

Compatibility & fit

Era SL runs Race Face's CINCH system with a 30mm, 136mm spindle. Fit a CINCH direct mount ring: DM for a 52mm chainline or DMW for 55mm. You'll also need a bottom bracket for a 30mm spindle that suits your frame. Chainrings and bottom brackets are sold separately. Crank and bottom-bracket fitting is a separate workshop service at Tune Cycles, and we can check your frame's bottom bracket standard and chainline with you before you order.
