DUCATI 1000 MULTISTRADA [2004-2006] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain with Rivet Link sets new standards in performance and durability for motorcycle chains. Thanks to its revolutionary technology, this advanced chain no longer requires regular relubrication, which would otherwise be required every 1,000 km. This represents a significant improvement for drivers who value low maintenance and efficiency.

Extensive tests in the laboratory and on the road have proven that the HPE chain has a service life that is at least equivalent, if not longer, than conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chains. A key element 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 provides exceptional hardness while maintaining a low coefficient of friction.

The ta-C coating reduces energy losses and increases the efficiency of the secondary drive. Additionally, eliminating the need for chain cleaning and lubricant splash during operation minimizes environmental impact. The innovative coating technology was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy, making the chain an optimal choice for environmentally conscious and performance-oriented motorcyclists.
