Tsubaki 525 RQ1 Road Chain – 116 Links

The Tsubaki 525 RQ1 is a premium X-ring road drive chain engineered for high-performance motorcycles with more than 150 hp, combining high tensile strength with low-friction operation for demanding street and track use.

This specific variant features a 525 pitch and 116 links, making it suitable for many modern sport, naked and sport-touring motorcycles where a compact, durable road chain is required.

Key Features

  • High-performance RQ1 series road chain developed for powerful motorcycles over 150 hp.
  • X-ring sealing for reduced friction and improved lubrication retention compared with conventional O-ring chains.
  • Gold-coloured outer plates for enhanced corrosion resistance and an attractive, performance-oriented appearance.
  • 525 pitch with 116 links, suitable for many factory and custom gearing combinations on road motorcycles.
  • Pre-stretched by the manufacturer to minimise initial elongation and reduce the need for frequent early adjustments.
  • High fatigue strength for reliable power transfer under hard acceleration and braking.
  • Supplied with a high-quality connecting link, designed for secure long-term use.

Performance and Durability Benefits

  • Optimised for high power: RQ1 construction and materials are tailored to handle the high loads and torque peaks of modern large-capacity engines.
  • Low friction power transfer: The X-ring design reduces internal friction, supporting smooth power delivery and helping to limit power losses through the final drive.
  • Extended service life: Improved sealing and high-quality materials contribute to slower wear and more stable chain length over time when correctly maintained.
  • Stable adjustment intervals: Factory pre-stretching helps the chain settle quickly, reducing the amount of adjustment typically needed after initial installation.
  • Corrosion resistance: Gold-coloured plating on the outer plates provides additional protection against the elements while maintaining a premium look.

Typical Use Cases

  • Replacement drive chain for high-performance road motorcycles originally equipped with a 525 sealed chain.
  • Upgrade option for riders seeking increased durability and performance over standard OEM chains.
  • Sport, track day and long-distance road use where consistent power transfer and reliability are priorities.
  • Applications where a 525 pitch and 116-link length correspond to the recommended final drive specification.

Design and Construction Highlights

  • Precision-manufactured components to Tsubaki’s high quality standards for roller chains.
  • Hardened pins, bushings and rollers for resistance to shock loads and wear.
  • Gold outer plates combined with dark inner links for a distinctive performance appearance.
  • Sealed X-rings between inner and outer plates to keep lubricant inside the chain joints and contamination out.

Installation and Maintenance Characteristics

  • The 525 RQ1 116-link configuration is intended to match many original-equipment sprocket and wheelbase setups when installed according to the motorcycle manufacturer’s specification.
  • Correct alignment, tension and lubrication of the chain and sprockets help maintain the designed performance and service life.
  • The chain is compatible with standard 525 sprockets manufactured to the appropriate motorcycle industry standards.
