Race Face Era Cinch Chainring

The Era Cinch uses a hybrid construction that combines carbon fiber, aluminum, and stainless steel. This design uses stainless steel for the teeth to significantly increase wear life, while the carbon spider keeps the overall weight down to just 83 grams.

This chainring is specifically optimized for Shimano 12-speed HG+ chains. It is designed for 12-speed drivetrains and uses the Race Face CINCH direct mount interface, so ensure your crankset is compatible with the CINCH system before purchasing.

Stainless steel is significantly harder and more durable than the aluminum typically used for chainring teeth. By using it here, Race Face ensures the teeth resist wear and deformation much longer, even under the high torque loads of modern 12-speed drivetrains.

The carbon fiber spider is engineered to provide excellent structural integrity and stiffness. It maintains power transfer efficiency while allowing the ring to be lighter than an all-metal equivalent.

This chainring is optimized specifically for Shimano 12-speed HG+ chains. While it may physically fit other chains, optimal shifting performance and wear characteristics are only guaranteed when paired with the intended Shimano HG+ system.
