DUCATI 1198 [2009-2011] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This high-performance 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 service life of the HPE chain is at least equal to, if not longer than, that of a conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chain.

A special 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 and longevity.

Additionally, the elimination of chain cleaning and lubricant splash during operation minimizes environmental impact. This innovative ta-C coating technology was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value performance, efficiency and environmental friendliness.
