Race Face Era Cinch Crankset

4.6

Best premium upgrade for riders seeking ultimate durability and sleek aesthetics.

This is the carbon crankset for riders who treat their bikes like disposable assets but want gear that refuses to break. By reinforcing the pedal inserts and adding a steel wear plate, it sacrifices a bit of weight to gain the kind of rugged durability that finally makes carbon feel truly invincible.
