KAWASAKI Z 1000 [2017-2021] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This innovative chain eliminates the need for regular lubrication that motorcyclists typically have to do every 1,000 km. Extensive laboratory and road testing has proven that the HPE chain has a service life at least as long, if not longer, than traditional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chains.

An outstanding feature of this chain is the coating with tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), one of the most advanced coatings from the group of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coatings. This coating is applied to the surface of the bushings and rollers of the HPE chain and reduces energy losses while increasing efficiency in the secondary drive. The combination of extremely high hardness of the coated surface and a low coefficient of friction results in improved performance.

Eliminating the need to clean the chain and use lubricants also minimizes environmental impact. This technological innovation was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value durability, performance and environmental protection.
