KTM 1190 RC 8 R [2010-2016] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain sets new standards in motorcycle technology. This sophisticated chain no longer requires regular relubrication, which was usual every 1,000 km. This innovation not only saves time but also maintenance costs. The HPE (High Performance Endurance) technology ensures a service life that is at least as long as that of a conventionally lubricated Z-ring chain, and often even longer.

A standout feature of the Regina 525 HPE chain is the Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C) coating, one of the most advanced coatings in the field of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) technologies. This coating is applied to the surface of the bushings and rollers and provides extremely high hardness and a low coefficient of friction. This leads to a reduction in energy losses and an increase in efficiency in the secondary drive.

Eliminating the need to clean and lubricate the chain also minimizes environmental impact. The innovative ta-C coating technology was developed through intensive research and development work by Regina engineers in Italy. This chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value performance, durability and environmental protection.
