Article: 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 lubrication that motorcyclists typically have to perform every 1,000 km. Thanks to its innovative technology, the Z-ring chain from Regina offers at least the same, if not longer, service life compared to conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chains.
A standout feature of this chain is the tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coating, one of the most advanced forms of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coatings. This coating is applied to the surface of the chain's bushings and rollers and is characterized by a very high hardness and a low coefficient of friction. This leads to a reduction in energy losses and an increase in efficiency in the secondary drive.
The ta-C coating not only contributes to increased performance, but also minimizes environmental impact as there is no need to clean the chain or spray lubricants during operation. Developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy, this technological innovation represents a significant advance in the motorcycle industry.
