The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in the performance and durability of motorcycle chains. This innovative chain does not require regular relubrication, making it ideal for motorcyclists looking for a low-maintenance solution. The special High Performance Endurance (HPE) technology ensures that the chain has a service life at least as long as traditionally lubricated Z-ring chains, if not longer.
A standout feature of the Regina 525 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 surfaces of the bushings and rollers and offers extremely high hardness while maintaining a low coefficient of friction. This leads to a reduction in energy losses and increased efficiency in the secondary drive.
The ta-C coating not only eliminates the need for chain cleaning and lubricant shedding during operation, but also minimizes environmental impact. This technological innovation 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 looking for performance and durability without regular maintenance.
