The EK Chain 525ZVX3 ZX-Ring Chain represents the pinnacle of motorcycle drive chain technology, engineered for high-performance sportbikes and track day riders who demand the absolute best in strength, durability, and power transfer. This 160-link configuration ships in a gold finish and is designed for 800cc–1300cc street and performance applications.

Key Features:

• ZX-Ring Sealing Technology: Advanced ZX-Ring design reduces internal friction between plates compared to standard O-ring or X-ring chains, delivering more usable horsepower directly to the rear wheel

• Ultra-High Tensile Strength: Engineered to exceed 9,400 lbs. tensile strength, surpassing most competing chains in its class
• Lightening Holes: Side plates feature precision lightening holes for meaningful weight reduction without sacrificing structural integrity
• Large-Diameter Pins: Oversized pins paired with friction-reducing ZX-Rings ensure consistent high-performance power delivery under demanding conditions
• Low Stiffness Design: Improved link geometry reduces chain stiffness for smoother, quieter operation and reduced drivetrain vibration
• Rivet-Style Master Link Included: Comes with one rivet-style master link for a secure, race-ready connection
• 160 Links: Standard length suitable for a wide range of sportbike applications; trim to fit as needed
