Tsubaki Road Chain 530 RQ2 120 Links

The Tsubaki Road Chain 530 RQ2 is a sealed, high-performance 120-link drive chain designed for road motorcycles that require a durable 530 pitch final low-friction X-ring sealing, pre-stretched construction and gold outer plates make it suitable for everyday riding as well as sporty use on machines with higher torque and power.

Key features

Road-focused 530 pitch sealed drive chain with 120 links
X-ring sealing for reduced friction and extended service life compared to standard roller chains
Recommended for motorcycles up to approximately 150 HP
Gold coloured outer plates with steel inner plates for a distinctive look and corrosion resistance
Pre-stretched to minimise initial elongation after installation
Hollow-pin rivet-type master link included for a secure connection
Precision-manufactured components for smooth, consistent power transfer

Benefits in everyday use

Low-friction X-ring design helps reduce power loss between engine and rear wheel
Sealed construction keeps lubricant inside the chain and contaminants outside, supporting longer service intervals when correctly maintained
Stable chain length after initial fitment thanks to pre-stretching, helping to reduce frequent adjustment needs
Robust construction for reliable operation on higher output road bikes within the recommended power range
Gold finish enhances the appearance of naked, sport, touring and custom motorcycles using a 530 drive chain

Typical applications

Replacement final drive chain for road motorcycles originally equipped with a 530 pitch chain and requiring 120 links (with appropriate sprockets)
Sport, naked and touring machines where a durable sealed chain is preferred over standard non-sealed types
Custom builds and upgrades where improved longevity and reduced friction are desired from the final drive
General road, commuting and long-distance riding within the recommended power range
