The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain with Rivet Link sets new standards in the performance and durability of motorcycle chains. This innovative chain eliminates the need for regular relubrication that motorcyclists typically have to do every 1,000 km. Extensive laboratory and road testing has proven that the HPE chain has a lifespan at least equal to, if not longer than, traditional regularly lubricated Z-ring chains.
A standout feature of the HPE chain is the tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coating, one of the most advanced forms of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coatings. This coating is applied to the surface of the chain's bushings and rollers and reduces energy losses while increasing efficiency in the secondary drive. The extremely high hardness of the coated surface combined with a low coefficient of friction results in improved performance and efficiency.
By eliminating chain cleaning and lubricant splash during operation, environmental impact is also minimized. The innovative ta-C coating technology was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. This product is a testament to Regina's commitment to meeting the needs of modern motorcyclists through technological innovation while protecting the environment.
