Description

Product overview

The Tsubaki Road Chain 525 RQ2 100 links is a high-quality sealed X-ring drive chain developed for modern road motorcycles that use a 525 pitch and require a 100-link combines low-friction operation, stable power transmission and long service life for everyday road and sport riding on machines up to around 150 hp.

Key features

Road-specific RQ2 series: Designed for real-world road use, balancing durability, weight and smooth running.
Low-friction X-ring sealing: Thin X-profile sealing rings reduce drag compared with conventional O-rings while retaining excellent lubrication and wear protection inside the chain joints.
High tensile strength: Robust construction with an average tensile strength of approximately 45.1 kN for reliable power transmission on mid- and high-performance motorcycles.
Pre-stretched at the factory: Pre-stretching minimises initial elongation, helping the chain stabilise quickly after installation.
Gold-coloured outer plates: Corrosion-resistant gold finish on the plates for a clean, premium appearance on the bike.
Hollow rivet master link included: Supplied with a hollow rivet connecting link for secure closure using industry-standard riveting tools.
Optimised for engines up to 150 hp: Recommended for motorcycles where engine output does not exceed approximately 150 horsepower, ensuring a strong safety margin in typical road use.
