Tsubaki Road Chain 530 RQ2 100 links (55250530100)
High-quality X-ring sealed 530 road drive chain from Tsubaki, engineered for durable, low-friction power transfer on medium to high performance motorcycles equipped with a 530 final drive.
Main features
- Premium 530-pitch road chain with 100 links for a wide range of street and custom motorcycles.
- X-ring sealing for improved lubrication retention and significantly reduced friction compared with conventional O-ring chains.
- Gold-coloured outer plates with steel-grey inner plates for a clean, high-end appearance and enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Pre-stretched at the factory to minimise initial elongation and reduce the need for early readjustments.
- Quad-staked rivet construction for high load capacity and reliable strength in demanding road use.
- Designed as a secondary (final) drive chain for motorcycles with up to approximately 140 hp, depending on application and gearing.

Typical applications
This 100-link 530 RQ2 chain is suitable for many road motorcycles originally equipped with a 530-pitch final drive chain, including naked bikes, sport tourers, cruisers and heavyweight customs, when matched with appropriate front and rear sprockets.
- Replacement secondary chain for mid- to large-displacement road motorcycles using a 530 chain.
- Upgrade from standard O-ring chains where longer service life and reduced friction are required.
- Use on custom builds requiring a strong, visually refined gold-finish chain in 100-link length.
Use only with compatible 530 sprockets and within the chain’s specified performance limits.
