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

X-ring chains, like this BikeMaster BMXR model, use a special seal design that reduces friction. This leads to less power loss and improved wear resistance, often lasting 1.5 to 2 times longer than standard O-ring chains.

What is the tensile strength of this chain?

This BikeMaster 530 BMXR chain has an average tensile strength of 9,700 lbs. This rating indicates the maximum load the chain can withstand before breaking, making it suitable for demanding use.

Does this chain come with everything needed for installation?

This chain includes a rivet master link, which is used to connect the ends of the chain. You will need specialized tools to properly install a rivet-type master link.

Product Details

When it's time to replace the drive chain on your motorcycle, choosing a well-built option makes a big difference in how your bike performs and how long the new chain lasts. This BikeMaster 530 BMXR X-Ring chain is designed to be a solid OEM replacement that offers improved durability and efficiency over standard O-ring chains.

This chain uses an X-ring seal, which is designed to reduce friction compared to a traditional O-ring. Less friction means less power loss from your engine to the rear wheel, and it also helps the chain run cooler. BikeMaster has also refined the components with computer analysis to achieve higher tensile strength, rated at 9,700 lbs, and used a special heat treatment process to make the material tougher. This means it can handle more abuse and will last longer, offering up to two times the wear resistance of a regular O-ring chain. It's suitable for engines up to 1,100cc on the street or 900cc off-road.

This chain comes with a rivet master link, which is the standard way to connect this type of chain securely. Make sure you have the proper tools for installing a rivet-type master link.
