Description

Tsubaki Offroad Chain 428 MXC 122 links

The Tsubaki 428 MXC offroad chain with 122 links is a high-performance drive chain designed specifically for motocross, enduro and other demanding off-road in collaboration with leading MX racing teams, the MXC series focuses on maximum reliability, low friction and efficient power transfer in heavy-duty dirt conditions.

Key features

Offroad-specific MXC series: engineered for professional motocross, enduro and similar off-road use where constant shock loads and contamination are typical.
Non-sealed construction: open roller design without sealing rings for minimal friction and reduced rotating mass, so engine power reaches the rear wheel more directly.
428-size chain: standard motorcycle chain size with 12.7 mm pitch and approx. 5/16 inch inner width, widely used on small and mid-displacement off-road motorcycles.
Pre-cut to 122 links: length suitable for many off-road applications that specify a 428 chain with 122 links, reducing the need for additional shortening.
High tensile strength: designed to withstand intensive off-road riding, frequent acceleration and landing impacts.
Optimised for dirt conditions: non-sealed design allows easy inspection and cleaning after rides in mud, sand or dust.

Performance and benefits

Reduced drivetrain losses: non-sealed architecture and carefully finished components help minimise mechanical drag for a more responsive feel at the rear wheel.
Durability under racing conditions: designed with input from MXGP-level teams to handle repeated hard launches, jumps and rapid load changes without premature stretch.
Stable chain length: quality steel and precision manufacturing support consistent length and tension when correctly maintained.
Service-friendly design: open construction makes it easy to clean away mud and apply fresh lubricant after off-road use.

Typical use cases

Replacement for OEM 428 chains on off-road motorcycles that specify a 122-link chain.
Motocross and SX tracks where quick response and low rotating mass are preferred over long-interval sealed-chain maintenance.
Enduro and cross-country events that combine high load, frequent shifting and variable terrain.
Off-road training, practice and amateur racing that require a robust yet efficient chain solution.

Regular cleaning, lubrication and correct chain tension help maintain the performance and service life of the Tsubaki 428 MXC chain, especially in abrasive off-road environments.
