New Favorite

After nearly a full season on these cranks, I can’t think of anything negative. Cranks are stiff and feel like they really seem to transfer power instantly. My old go-to was the pre-transmission X01 carbon cranks, these take the performance I enjoyed from those and crank it up a couple of notches. Nice and light weight but I don’t have any concern about them taking big hits like some of the other lightweight cranks. These will be my go-to for a while.

Tough and light

Been on them for about a year now and these cranks are solid. No creaking or any weirdness and they’ve shrugged off some direct hits without much more than scuffs. Also, short cranks for the win!

A new ERA

RaceFace has knocked it out of the park with their entire line of ERA products. The shorter crank lengths on the ERA cranks is awesome. The cranks went on easy, and have been performing flawlessly. When you don't have to think about it, thats when you know its a great product.

Plus they look good. Look good, feel good, ride good.

Instant ride performance

I've been wanting to upgrade to shorter cranks ever since moving to rock ledge laden Western Colorado. Why did I wait to long!

Instant confidence booster due to the decreased occurrence of the dreaded pedal strike while navigating uphill steps and ledges. I also noticed an instant acceleration boost due to turning a smaller circumference.

I'm really not much of a tech geek when it comes to upgrading parts on my bikes, even after 30+ years of riding, several years racing at the pro level, and 20 years as a shop owner. But these cranks have made me a believer; even having top of the line frames and components, you CAN still improve the ride experience of your MTB!

I love the Era cranksets from RaceFace

I love the Era cranksets from RaceFace. Tough, light, quiet, and easy to install. The colorways are a nice touch, too. I like them so much, I have two sets.
