Era is expected to last five times as long as a typical alloy ring for less than twice the cost. By bonding three parts made from optimal materials, we made a chainring with the weight of aluminum and the lifespan of steel. Era is a chainring without compromise.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 30T size suitable for technical climbing?
A 30T ring is an excellent choice for riders tackling technical terrain and steep climbs. It provides a versatile gear range that pairs effectively with modern 12-speed drivetrains.
Can I choose between different chainline setups?
Yes, the Era Chainring is available in two chainline configurations to ensure proper compatibility with your bike’s drivetrain:
- DM (Direct Mount): 52mm chainline with 3mm offset.
- DMW (Direct Mount Wide): 55mm chainline with 0mm offset.
Both options are designed for use with the RF136 spindle to maintain perfect alignment.
Will this work with SHI12 tooth profiles?
Yes, this specific model is precision-engineered for the SHI12 tooth profile, ensuring perfect engagement and reliable power transfer for your 12-speed setup.
Does the chainring help maintain overall chain health?
Yes, the Era Chainring is specifically engineered to preserve the life of your drivetrain. By utilizing hardened stainless steel for the teeth, it resists the rapid wear that typically plagues aluminum chainrings. This high-durability surface ensures that the chain-to-tooth interface remains consistent over time, significantly reducing premature wear on your chain compared to traditional alloy options.
Does this handle harsh or dusty trail conditions?
Yes, the Era Chainring is specifically engineered for demanding environments. By utilizing stainless steel teeth, it offers superior wear resistance in gritty or dusty conditions compared to standard aluminum rings, ensuring that your drivetrain stays quieter and more reliable for much longer.
How does the longevity compare to standard alloy rings?
The Era chainring is engineered for extreme endurance. It is designed to last five times longer than a typical aluminum chainring, providing exceptional value for riders who want to minimize maintenance and frequent replacements.
