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 special seal ring that offers improved wear resistance and reduced friction. BikeMaster states this can lead to 1.5 to 2 times longer wear life and less power loss compared to standard O-ring chains.

What is the tensile strength of this chain?

This BikeMaster 530 BMXR X-Ring chain has an average tensile strength of 9,700 lbs. This indicates its ability to withstand significant pulling force before breaking.

Does this chain come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, this chain includes a rivet master link, which is necessary for connecting the two ends of the chain to fit your motorcycle. Ensure you follow proper installation procedures for riveting the master link securely.

Product Details

When you're looking to replace the chain on your motorcycle, especially if you're pushing the limits of your engine, a strong and durable chain is key. This BikeMaster 530 BMXR X-Ring chain is built to handle more demanding use than a standard O-ring chain, offering a significant improvement in wear resistance.

BikeMaster uses computer analysis to refine each component, aiming for higher tensile strength and better durability. The chain features a Q4 seal ring, which BikeMaster says reduces friction, minimizing power loss compared to standard O-ring chains. This design, along with reinforced pins and rollers, is intended to provide better wear resistance and endurance, giving you up to twice the wear life over regular O-ring chains. It's rated for engines up to 1,100cc for street use or 900cc for off-road applications, with an average tensile strength of 9,700 lbs.

This chain comes with a rivet master link, which is what you'll use to connect the chain ends. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and to ensure the master link is securely riveted.
