DUCATI 795 MONSTER [2012-2015] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet closure sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This chain features innovative Z-ring technology, which eliminates the need for regular lubrication, which would otherwise be required every 1,000 km. This offers motorcyclists a significant advantage in terms of maintenance and longevity.

The Z-ring chain has been extensively tested in the laboratory and on the road and has shown that its service life is at least as long, if not longer, than that of a conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chain. A special feature of this chain is the coating with Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C), 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 reduces energy losses while increasing efficiency in the secondary drive.

The very high hardness of the coated surface combined with a low coefficient of friction results in improved performance. Additionally, eliminating the need for chain cleaning and avoiding lubricant splashes during operation minimizes environmental impact. This technological innovation was made possible by intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy.
