KAWASAKI W 650 [1999-2006] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain with Rivet Link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This highly developed chain does not require regular relubrication, which makes it particularly low-maintenance. Motorcyclists no longer have to lubricate the chain every 1,000 km, saving both time and resources.

Extensive laboratory and road tests have proven that the service life of the HPE chain is at least as long, if not longer, than that of a conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chain. The innovative tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coating, one of the most advanced DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coatings, is applied to the surface of the bushings and rollers. This coating reduces energy losses and increases efficiency in the secondary drive thanks to its extremely high hardness and low coefficient of friction.

Another advantage of the Regina 525 HPE chain is the minimized environmental impact, as there is no need to clean the chain or spray lubricants during operation. The development of this innovative coating process was carried out through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. This chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value performance, durability and environmental protection.
