APRILIA RSV 1000 [2005-2015] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain sets new standards in motorcycle technology and offers an outstanding solution for riders who value durability and low maintenance. This chain is characterized by its innovative Z-ring technology, which eliminates the need for regular lubrication that would otherwise be required every 1,000 km. This leads to significant time and cost savings.

Extensive tests both in the laboratory and on the road have proven that the service life of the HPE chain is at least as long, if not longer, than that of a conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chain. Another advantage 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 reduces energy losses and increases efficiency in the secondary drive by combining extreme hardness with a low coefficient of friction.

An additional ecological advantage is the reduction in environmental impact, as there is no need for chain cleaning and the spraying of lubricants during operation. The development of this innovative coating technology was carried out through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain is an excellent choice for environmentally conscious drivers who do not want to forego performance and durability.
