Tsubaki Road Chain 525 RQ2 110 Links (55250525110)

The Tsubaki 525 RQ2 road chain with 110 links is a high-quality sealed X-ring motorcycle drive chain, designed for reliable power transfer, long service life and a premium gold appearance on modern road motorcycles up to approximately 150 hp.

Key Features

525 pitch sealed X-ring road drive chain with 110 links for standard motorcycle applications.
Recommended for road motorcycles with engine outputs up to around 150 hp.
Low-friction X-ring seal design reduces drag compared with conventional O-ring chains while maintaining effective sealing.
Pre-stretched at the factory to minimize initial elongation after the first adjustment.
Gold-coloured outer plates deliver enhanced corrosion resistance and an attractive finish on exposed drivetrains.
Supplied with a hollow rivet master link for secure, permanent installation using standard riveting tools.
High average tensile strength of approximately 45.1 kN supports demanding road use when correctly maintained.

Benefits in Everyday Use

Stable and consistent power transmission thanks to high tensile strength and controlled elongation characteristics.
Reduced mechanical losses in the final drive due to the low-friction X-ring design, supporting efficient drivetrain performance.
Durable sealing helps retain lubricant and keep out dirt, supporting long service life when the chain is cleaned and lubricated at appropriate intervals.
Gold finish enhances the appearance of naked, sport and touring motorcycles where the chain is highly visible.

Typical Use Cases

Replacement drive chain for mid-size and large-displacement road motorcycles specified for 525 pitch chain.
Sport-touring, commuting and everyday road riding where a balance of durability, weight and running smoothness is important.
General road use on machines where a sealed, long-life X-ring chain is preferred over standard non-sealed designs.
