SUZUKI SV 650 [1999-2009] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This high-performance chain features innovative Z-ring technology that eliminates the need for regular lubrication every 1,000 km. This not only offers motorcyclists a significant increase in comfort, but also a longer service life compared to traditional Z-ring chains that require regular lubrication.

Extensive laboratory and road tests have proven that the HPE chain is at least as durable, if not more durable, 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 very high hardness of the coated surface combined with a low coefficient of friction results in improved performance and efficiency. Additionally, the elimination of chain cleaning and lubricant splash during operation minimizes environmental impact. This technological innovation was made possible by intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy.
