YAMAHA YZF R 1 [2015-2021] - 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 lubrication that 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 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 special feature 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 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. Additionally, eliminating the need to clean the chain and use lubricants minimizes environmental impact. The development of this innovative coating process was carried out 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 performance, durability and low maintenance.
