DUCATI 800 MONSTER S 2 R [2005-2007] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This advanced chain eliminates the need for regular relubrication that motorcyclists typically have to do every 1,000 km. Extensive testing in the laboratory and on the road has proven that the durability of the HPE chain is at least equivalent to, if not greater than, that of a traditional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chain.

An outstanding feature of this chain is the coating with hydrogen-free Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C), one of the most advanced coatings from the group of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coatings. This coating is applied to the surface of the chain's bushings and rollers and reduces energy losses while increasing efficiency in the secondary drive. The extremely high hardness of the coated surface combined with a low coefficient of friction results in improved performance.

The innovative ta-C coating was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. By eliminating chain cleaning and lubricant splash during operation, environmental impact is also minimized. These technological advances make the Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain an ideal choice for motorcyclists who value performance, durability and environmental protection.
