APRILIA RST 1000 FUTURA [2001-2005] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in the performance and durability of motorcycle chains. This innovative chain eliminates the need for regular relubrication that motorcyclists typically have to do every 1,000 km. Extensive laboratory and road tests have proven that the HPE chain has a service life that is at least equivalent, if not longer, than conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chains.

An outstanding feature of the HPE chain is the coating with 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.

Eliminating the need to clean the chain and spray lubricants also minimizes environmental impact. The innovative ta-C coating technology was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. This chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value performance, durability and environmental friendliness.
