APRILIA RSV 1000 [1998-2005] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This high-performance chain eliminates the need for regular lubrication that motorcyclists typically have to perform every 1,000 km. Extensive testing in the laboratory and on the road has proven that the HPE chain has a service life at least equal to, if not longer than, traditional regularly lubricated Z-ring chains.

An outstanding 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 reduces energy losses while increasing efficiency in the secondary drive. The combination of extremely high hardness of the coated surface and a low coefficient of friction leads to improved performance.

Eliminating the need to clean the chain and prevent lubricant splashes during operation also minimizes environmental impact. 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 durability, performance and environmental protection.
