HONDA VT 700 C SHADOW [1989-2007] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain with Rivet Link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This high-performance chain no longer requires regular relubrication, which was usual every 1,000 km. This offers a significant relief to motorcyclists, who now have to do less maintenance and can instead concentrate on riding.

Extensive tests in the laboratory and on the road have proven that the service life of the HPE chain is at least equal to, if not longer than, that of a conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chain. A special feature of this chain is the coating with Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C), one of the most advanced coatings from the group of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coatings. This coating is applied to the surface of the chain's bushings and rollers and ensures a reduction in energy losses and an increase in efficiency in the secondary drive.

The ta-C coating combines extreme hardness with a low coefficient of friction, further increasing efficiency and minimizing environmental impact by eliminating chain cleaning and lubricant splash during operation. This innovative coating technology was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value performance and sustainability.
