Tsubaki Offroad Chain 428 MXC 124 Links
The Tsubaki 428 MXC off-road chain in 124-link length is part of a dedicated motocross series developed in cooperation with leading European MX racing a non-sealed performance chain, it focuses on minimal friction, low rotating mass and reliable power transfer for demanding motocross, enduro and general off-road riding.
Main Features
- High-performance 428-pitch off-road chain from Tsubaki’s MXC series.
- Developed together with top MX racing teams for maximum reliability and race-proven performance.
- Non-sealed design keeps friction and weight low so engine power is transmitted efficiently to the rear wheel.
- Pre-stretched at the factory to reduce initial elongation and limit early adjustment needs.
- High tensile strength construction designed for intensive motocross and enduro use.
- Precision-manufactured steel components for accurate engagement with 428 sprockets.
- Supplied with a matching master link for straightforward installation and servicing.

Typical Applications
- Replacement drive chain for off-road motorcycles equipped with 428-pitch sprockets requiring a 124-link length.
- Motocross race use where low friction and sharp throttle response are prioritized.
- Enduro and cross-country riding with frequent changes in load, traction and surface conditions.
- Off-road sport and training bikes that benefit from a lightweight, easy-to-maintain non-sealed chain.
Design and Performance
The MXC series is engineered as a dedicated off-road competition omitting sealing rings, the chain runs with reduced drag and lower rotating mass compared to sealed alternatives, which supports fast acceleration and precise throttle feel on loose -quality steel plates and pins provide the tensile strength needed for hard launches, landings and repeated high-load impacts typical of motocross and enduro riding.
Consistent manufacturing tolerances along the 124-link length help the chain mesh smoothly with 428 sprockets, promoting even load distribution across the contributes to stable chain tension, predictable wear characteristics and reliable performance over aggressive riding cycles.
Maintenance Characteristics
As a non-sealed off-road chain, the Tsubaki 428 MXC 124-link model depends on external lubrication to protect against wear and cleaning and relubrication with appropriate motorcycle chain-care products support smooth operation, especially in muddy, sandy or wet environments common in motocross and enduro maintained correctly, the combination of high-grade materials and MX-focused design delivers a durable, competition-ready off-road drive chain.
