What is the main advantage of an X-ring chain over a standard O-ring chain?

X-ring chains, like this BikeMaster BMXR model, are designed with a unique seal ring that offers significantly less friction than standard O-ring chains. This leads to minimized power loss and improved wear resistance, often 1.5 to 2 times longer than regular O-ring chains.

What engine sizes is this chain rated for?

This BikeMaster 520x98 BMXR X-Ring Chain is suitable for street motorcycles with engines up to 1,000cc. For off-road applications, it is recommended for engines up to 750cc.

Does this chain come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, this chain includes both a rivet master link and a clip master link. This provides you with options depending on your preferred installation method and tools available.

Product Details

When it's time to replace the chain on your motorcycle, especially if you're pushing the limits of your engine, you need a drivetrain component that can handle the stress. This BikeMaster 520x98 BMXR X-Ring Chain is built to be a solid OEM replacement, offering significantly improved wear resistance over standard O-ring chains.

BikeMaster uses computer analysis to refine each component, aiming for higher tensile strength and durability. The chain features a Q4 seal ring, which is designed to reduce friction and minimize power loss, offering almost half the friction of a standard O-ring chain. This means more of your engine's power makes it to the wheel. The specially controlled heat treatment process makes the material tougher, and the reinforced pin and roller design contribute to better wear resistance and impact endurance, giving you a more durable chain for your ride.

This chain is suitable for engines up to 1,000cc for street use or 750cc for off-road applications, with an average tensile strength of 9,000 lbs. It comes with both a rivet master link and a clip master link, giving you options for installation.
