HONDA VFR 800 X CROSSRUNNE [2014-2021] - Z-ring chain

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

An outstanding feature of this 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 and lubricate the chain also minimizes environmental impact. This innovative coating process was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. With the Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain you choose a product that balances performance and environmental awareness.
