Race Face joins the trend of short cranks with the new Era and Turbine models of 160 and 165 mm

The renowned component manufacturer Race Face has just announced two new additions to its range of cranks Era and Turbine. A pair of models that will be available in 160/165mm and join the growing trend of mounting shorter cranks.

Race Face launches the new Era and Turbine cranks with a lifetime warranty

This is Race Face's first release for MY26 and reflects the brand's commitment to offering innovative and high-performance solutions for cyclists of all levels.

What are the benefits of mounting shorter cranks?

The trend of mounting shorter cranks has spread across all cycling disciplines as it has been shown to not affect the power generated but has many other benefits. In the case of mountain biking, choosing shorter cranks can reduce impacts on the pedals, minimize knee pain, improve bike fit, or be faster on descents.
