DUCATI 1199 PANIGALE S [2012-2021] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This chain features innovative Z-ring technology, which eliminates the need for regular relubrication, which would otherwise be required every 1,000 km. This offers motorcyclists a significant advantage in terms of maintenance and longevity.

Extensive tests both 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 special 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 high hardness of the coated surface combined with a low coefficient of friction results in improved performance.

Another significant advantage of the Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain is the minimization of environmental impact by eliminating the need for chain cleaning and lubricant spraying during operation. This technological innovation was made possible by intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy, making the chain an excellent choice for environmentally conscious riders.
