APRILIA RSV 1000 [2009-2015] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. Thanks to its innovative technology, this high-performance chain no longer requires regular relubrication, which was previously required every 1,000 km. This offers motorcyclists a significant advantage in terms of maintenance and handling.

Extensive testing in laboratories and on the road has 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 key element of this chain is the coating made of 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 combination of extremely high hardness of the coated surface and a low coefficient of friction results in improved performance. Additionally, the elimination of chain cleaning and lubricant splash during operation minimizes environmental impact. These technological advances were achieved through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy.

The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain is therefore an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value durability, performance and environmental protection.
