The new Race Face Era chainring uses stainless steel teeth on a carbon fiber spider for the ultimate in durability and stiffness.
OK, maybe not actually forever, but the new Race Face Era chainring has 5x the claimed life of typical alloy chainrings, and it’s just as light.
The chainring teeth are stainless steel, which are incredibly hard. Race Face says their hardness measures 1300 MPa , versus 475 MPa for alloy. That means they’re more durable, less prone to wear, and will last about five times longer. Still not convinced? In their fatigue tests, standard 12-speed chainrings from the two biggest drivetrain brands failed in 400,000 cycles or less. The Era chainring testing was stopped at 2.1 million cycles because it wasn’t showing any signs of failure. In all, it’s enough for them to give the Era chainring a lifetime guarantee against damage.
It’s available with 52mm and 55mm chain line offsets. And it’s compatible with most if not all chain guides.
