Main Features
- Gold outer plates for a premium appearance and increased corrosion resistance.
- Low-friction X-ring sealing reduces mechanical losses compared with traditional O-ring chains while maintaining long service life.
- Recommended for motorcycles up to approximately 150 hp, suitable for a wide range of road and sport machines.
- Pre-stretched during production to minimise initial elongation after installation, helping to maintain correct chain tension for longer intervals.
