The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain with Rivet Link sets new standards in performance and durability for motorcycle chains. This highly developed chain no longer requires regular relubrication, which makes it particularly low-maintenance. Motorcyclists can therefore skip the usual lubrication every 1,000 km, which not only saves time but also protects the environment.
Extensive testing in the laboratory and on the road has proven that the durability of the HPE chain is at least as high, if not higher, than that of a conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chain. A key element of this chain is the Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C) coating, one of the most advanced coatings from the group of Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coatings. This coating is applied to the surface of the chain's bushings and rollers and provides a significant reduction in energy losses as well as an increase in efficiency in the secondary drive.
The ta-C coating combines extreme hardness with a low coefficient of friction, which further increases efficiency. Eliminating the need to clean the chain and use lubricants also minimizes environmental impact. Developed through intensive research and development by Regina engineers in Italy, this innovative technology offers a revolutionary solution for motorcyclists worldwide.
