D.I.D. 530VX3X150ZB VX3 Series 530 X-Ring Drive Chain 150 Links Black Steel

The D.I.D. 530VX3 X-Ring Chain is a high-performance, 150-link drive chain built for street, ATV, and off-road applications. A significant step up from OEM chains, the VX3 series is D.I.D.'s most popular and widely used chain, delivering outstanding strength, seal performance, and chain life in a durable steel construction.

Engineered with D.I.D.'s patented X-Ring seal technology, the 530VX3 delivers a 41% longer chain life compared to the VO Series. Increased inner plate hardness gives the VX3 an 8% tensile strength improvement over the previous 530VX model, while greater rigidity reduces flex for smoother, more responsive power delivery.

• 530 pitch, 150 links, black steel finish with rivet-style (ZJ) master link included
• Average tensile strength of 9,980 lbs
• Chain life index: 4,000 (vs. 100 for a standard chain)
• 41% longer chain life than the VO Series via patented X-Ring seal technology
• 8% tensile strength increase over the 530VX due to hardened inner plates
• "Direct Energy Transfer" technology increases chain rigidity for improved throttle response
• Weight: 4.29 lbs per 100 links
