Typical Applications
The Tsubaki 420 MXC 142-link chain is intended for off-road motorcycles and related vehicles that require a 420-pitch, non-sealed drive chain with this exact link use cases include:
- Motocross and MX practice bikes using 420-pitch front and rear sprockets
- Enduro, trail and play bikes in smaller to mid-displacement classes where 420 chain is specified
- Pit bikes, youth and junior MX machines designed around a 420 drive system
- Off-road conversions and custom builds that call for a long 142-link 420 chain
Benefits in Off-Road Use
- Efficient power transfer: Non-sealed design and low-friction construction help transmit engine power directly to the rear wheel.
- Race-proven reliability: MXC series development with professional motocross teams supports consistent performance under race-level loads.
- Durable build: Solid rollers and quad-riveted pins help resist elongation and impact loads typical in jumps, landings and whoops.
- Stable engagement: Accurate 420 pitch and high manufacturing tolerances promote smooth meshing with compatible sprockets.
- Versatile length: 142 links provide flexibility for set-ups that require a slightly longer chain, for example with larger rear sprockets or longer swingarms.
Compatibility depends on the motorcycle's original sprocket pitch and required chain length; only vehicles specified for a 420-pitch, 142-link chain are appropriate applications.
