Race Face Era Cinch Crankset

Yes, Race Face covers the Era crankset for its lifetime, and that policy explicitly includes damage sustained during crashes. It is designed to be a set-it-and-forget-it component for aggressive riders.

The integrated stainless steel plate protects the carbon surface from heel rub and rock strikes. It significantly increases the longevity of the crank arms compared to standard carbon cranks that can easily scuff or delaminate.

The Era features a 30mm spindle diameter, so you will need a bottom bracket compatible with 30mm spindles. Note that the bottom bracket is not included with the crankset, so you will need to purchase one separately based on your frame's specific shell standard.

If your current chainring uses the Race Face Cinch direct-mount standard, it will be compatible. If you are using a different mounting system, you will need to swap to a Cinch-compatible ring.

Yes, the Era is fully compatible with 10, 11, and 12-speed drivetrains. It is optimized for Boost 148mm spacing with a 52mm chainline, making it a versatile choice for most modern trail and all-mountain bikes.
