Frequently asked questions
Is this spider specifically reinforced for electric bike power?
Yes, it is part of the eMTB Built product line. This means it is precision-engineered from high-strength aluminum to handle the unique mechanical stresses and higher torque output of modern full-power electric mountain bike motors.
Does the spider support standard 104BCD rings?
Yes, this eMTB spider is specifically designed to allow the use of standard 104 BCD 4-arm chainrings on your Bosch Gen 4 e-bike motor.
This broad compatibility supports all Race Face 1x 104BCD rings, including the newer SHI-12 speed compatible rings.
Does installation require any special mechanical expertise?
Yes, installing the eMTB Spider does require some mechanical knowledge as it involves working directly with the e-bike motor interface. It is essential to ensure the component is securely attached to the motor spindle for optimal power transfer and safety. If you are not familiar with e-bike drivetrain maintenance, we recommend having a professional mechanic perform the installation.
What is the standard chainline for this product?
The spider features a 52mm chainline by default. This is the baseline measurement designed for most standard Bosch Gen 4 and compatible configurations.
Does this spider fit my Bosch Gen 5 motor?
Yes, this spider is compatible with Bosch Gen 5 Performance Line CX motors. Please keep in mind that when installing it on a Gen 5 CX motor, you will need to include an additional spacer to correctly achieve the 55mm chainline requirement.
Can I use this spider for both Trail and XC riding?
Yes, the Race Face eMTB Spider is built to be highly versatile and durable enough for both Trail and Cross Country (XC) riding styles. Because it is part of the ‘eMTB Built’ collection, it is engineered to withstand the specific high-torque demands common in these disciplines, ensuring reliable performance regardless of the terrain.
