RaceFace launches its lightest XC crank in the Era SL

RaceFace is updating its products range for modern cross-country and downcountry use. The new Era SL carbon crank is the company’s lightest to date, with a claimed weight of just 422 grams including a 32T chainring. That’s about 40 grams less than SRAM XX SL, and 120 grams less than Shimano XTR. The new crank is available in 160, 165, 170 and 175mm lengths, and in black, kashmoney (Kashima-like), and stealth colours. It features a 30 mm aluminium spindle and uses RaceFace’s own Cinch chainring mounting system. It's backed by a lifetime warranty, with "crashes included". These cranks are priced at US$577.
