DUCATI 800 SCRAMBLER [2017-2020] - 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 lubrication that motorcyclists typically have to perform every 1,000 km. Extensive testing in the laboratory and on the road has proven that the service life of the HPE chain is at least equal 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 bushings and rollers of the HPE chain 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 and lubricate the chain also minimizes environmental impact. The innovative coating process with ta-C was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. This technological innovation makes the Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain an ideal choice for motorcyclists who value performance, durability and environmental protection.
