Race Face Era Cinch Chainring

The combination of carbon fiber, aluminum, and stainless steel allows for a lightweight profile without sacrificing durability. By using stainless steel specifically for the teeth, Race Face significantly extends the wear life of the chainring compared to standard aluminum options.

Yes, this chainring is specifically engineered for 12-speed systems and is optimized for Shimano HG+ chains. It ensures precise shifting and reliable power transfer for modern 1x drivetrains.

This model uses the CINCH Direct Mount interface, which is standard across most modern Race Face cranksets. However, you should verify that your specific crankset supports the CINCH direct mount system before purchasing.

At 83g, this chainring is designed to be competitive with lightweight performance parts. While it may not be the absolute lightest option on the market, the weight penalty is minimal given the significant increase in durability provided by the stainless steel teeth.

While it is optimized for Shimano HG+ chains, it is designed to function within the parameters of 12-speed 1x drivetrains. For the best shifting performance and longevity, we recommend sticking to the manufacturer's suggested chain compatibility.
