KAWASAKI Z 1000 [2011-2021] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This chain eliminates the need for regular lubrication that motorcyclists typically have to do every 1,000 km. Extensive laboratory and road tests 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 standout 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 bushings and rollers of the HPE chain 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 leads to improved performance.

Eliminating chain cleaning and lubricant splash during operation also minimizes environmental impact. This innovative coating process was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value durability, performance and environmental protection.
