KTM 1090 ADVENTURE [2017-2021] - Z-ring chain with HPE technology

The Regina Z-Ring chain with High Performance Endurance (HPE) technology marks a revolutionary advance in motorcycle technology. This chain does not require regular relubrication, which would be common every 1,000 km. Extensive tests in the laboratory and on the road 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.

A special feature of this chain is the Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C) coating, 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 ensures a reduction in energy losses and an increase in efficiency in the secondary drive. The combination of extremely high hardness of the coated surface and a low coefficient of friction leads to optimized performance.

Eliminating the need for chain cleaning and avoiding lubricant splashes during operation also minimizes environmental impact. The innovative ta-C coating technology was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. This chain is an ideal choice for motorcyclists who value performance, durability and environmental protection.
