D.I.D. 520VX3X114FB 520 VX3 X-Ring Drive Chain 114 Links Natural Steel

The D.I.D. 520VX3 X-Ring Chain is D.I.D.'s most popular and widely used performance chain upgrade, delivering a significant step up from OEM chains for both on-road and off-road motorcycles. Engineered with D.I.D.'s patented X-Ring seal technology, the 520VX3 delivers a 32% longer chain life compared to the VO Series, making it an excellent long-term investment for riders who demand reliability and performance.

Unlike standard O-ring chains, D.I.D.'s patented X-Rings feature four contact points that dramatically improve lubrication retention while keeping out dirt and contaminants. The X-Ring's unique design reduces friction by distributing pressure across a wider surface area, minimizing power loss and extending service intervals. Compared to O-ring chains, X-ring chains can last up to twice as long under similar conditions.

A key engineering focus of the VX3 is increased chain rigidity, which reduces lateral flex for more direct power transfer, smoother handling, and quicker throttle response. This 114-link chain includes a connecting master link and is rated for motorcycles up to 800cc.
