Frequently asked questions
What is the Q-factor of the Era SL?
The Q-factor for the Era SL Crankset is 170mm, which is measured including the pedal washers.
How does the wear plate protect the crank arms?
The crankset features a precisely positioned stainless steel wear plate. This minimizes scuffing from shoe rub and pedal articulation in high-contact areas, offering essential protection while adding negligible weight.
Does the design prioritize power transfer efficiency?
Yes, the Era SL is engineered for high-performance riding through a combination of lightweight materials and structural rigidity:
- 7000-series Aluminum Spindle: The 30mm diameter spindle is crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy, ensuring a stiff and responsive connection between the rider and the drivetrain.
- UD Carbon Construction: Utilizing high-modulus unidirectional carbon fiber allows for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, effectively transferring rider input into forward momentum.
- Optimized Stiffness: The overall architecture is built to handle the torque requirements of Trail and All-Mountain riding, providing a stable platform whether you are spinning at high cadences or pushing hard on technical climbs.
Does this crankset provide a significant weight advantage?
Absolutely. The Era SL is engineered to be the lightest mainstream crankset currently available, weighing in at just 354g. It is specifically designed for riders looking to shave grams from their setup without compromising on performance.
Is this crankset designed for aggressive mountain biking?
The Era SL Crankset is specifically engineered for high-performance Downcountry, Trail, and All-Mountain riding. Built from high-modulus UD carbon fiber, it delivers a category-leading weight profile while providing the structural integrity and durability needed to handle the demands of aggressive trail terrain.
Is the carbon material durable enough for aggressive trails?
Yes. While it is incredibly lightweight, the crank arms are constructed from high-modulus UD Carbon fiber combined with a robust 7000-series Aluminum Alloy spindle. It is built to handle the demands of XC racing, Trail, and All Mountain riding.
