Typical Applications

This 112-link 525 RQ2 chain is suitable for a wide range of mid- to large-displacement road motorcycles that use a 525-pitch final drive and require a sealed X-ring chain.

Replacement chain for OEM 525 sealed chains on street and sport motorcycles.
Sport-touring and commuting machines where long service life and reduced maintenance intervals are important.
Upgraded chain choice for riders seeking a balance between durability, performance and weight on bikes up to 150 HP.
Applications where clean power transfer and stable chain length under load are critical to handling and throttle response.

Benefits of the RQ2 X-Ring Design

Lower friction compared with conventional O-ring chains, helping to reduce power loss at the rear wheel.
Improved sealing around each pin due to the X-shaped profile, keeping lubricant in and contaminants out.
Longer usable lifespan under proper maintenance, thanks to reduced internal wear.
Pre-stretched construction that helps the chain retain its length and alignment over time, supporting consistent sprocket engagement.
Hollow rivet master link that assists precise riveting and contributes to ease of fitment.
