What makes the ProTaper Pro Series chain different from other O-ring chains?

This chain uses a unique forged pin collar technique that integrates with the outer plates. It also features Slim O-Ring Technology, which provides lubrication in a slimmer profile to avoid clearance issues common with other O-ring designs.

What is the benefit of the forged pin collars and slim outer plates?

The forged pin collars allow for a slimmer outer chain plate. This reduces the overall weight and rotational mass of the chain, which can lead to improved throttle response and acceleration, while also increasing tensile strength.

What is the tensile strength of this chain?

The Pro Series chain is engineered for maximum strength and durability. The forged pin collar construction and chromium carbide layered pins contribute to its increased tensile strength.

Product Details

ProTaper is well-known for their high-performance off-road motorcycle components. This Pro Series Forged 520 Slim O-Ring Chain is built using a unique manufacturing process that sets it apart in the off-road chain market. It’s designed to handle demanding conditions, whether you’re on the trail or at the track.

What makes this chain special is the innovative forged pin collars. These collars are cold-forged around the specially treated pins and then seamlessly integrated into the outer chain plates. This construction method allows for a slimmer outer plate, which reduces overall weight and rotational mass. Despite being lighter, the chain actually gains tensile strength, meaning it can handle more force without stretching or breaking. The Slim O-Ring Technology also plays a key role, providing excellent, long-lasting lubrication within a slimmer profile. This design helps prevent clearance issues often found with other O-ring chains, ensuring smooth operation and power transfer.

This chain is a solid option if you're looking for improved throttle response and acceleration due to its reduced friction and rotational mass. It’s built from well-selected materials with precision manufacturing to ensure it lasts and reliably transfers power from your engine to the rear wheel.
