Pitch / Size: 525 (standard heavy motorcycle drive chain)
Sealing / Ring Type: Uses a patented Z-Ring (“Z44” seal) design. The Z-Ring has a conical inner shape and flexes under assembly, creating a spring effect that helps maintain seal integrity over time.
Materials & Construction: Plates & pins made of high alloy steel, shot-peened for durability. Solid bushings and rollers; pre-stretched chain to reduce initial elongation. Colour finish is often gold/black plating for aesthetic and wear resistance.
Included Components: Usually comes with a rivet-type connecting (master) link for assembly (Type 19 style)
Intended Use / Benefits:
Designed for high performance and reliability in street/touring or sport applications
Reduced friction compared to older O-ring chains, thanks to the Z-Ring design
Good wear life and stable sealing under varying loads and environmental conditions
