SUPERBIKE SERIES - THE ULTIMATE CHAIN
D.I.D X-Ring reduces friction by twisting between the side plates instead of being squashed. Normal O-Rings and other makers’ modified O-Rings have squashed points that increase friction. The twisting resilience of the X-Ring’s four sections greatly increases its sealing performance. This keeps the dirt out and the lubrication in much better than any other O-Ring. X-Rings have the greatest wear resistance of any other type of O-Ring or Non-O-Ring chain
- D.I.D’s X-Ring is about 50% lower friction and delivers 50% to 100% longer wear resistance.
- D.I.D’s X-Ring twists under pressure from the side plates reducing friction compared to other type squashed designs.
- Special low-friciton "X" type O-ring is used to increase performance and provide better sealing to keep dirt out and lubrication in. Superior strength to combat breakage.
- ZVM chains feature gold coloured side plates.
- The D.I.D. ZVM 530 X-Ring chain is one of the strongest available offering 10,408 pound tensile strength.
- You can expect a much longer life span and much less stretching with this chain over the original.
- 530 ZVM chain is designed to meet the requirements of machines upto 1400CC.
D.I.D.’s engineers are continuously improving chain designs in order to handle the tremendous house power loads of today’s high performance motorcycles. In developing the new D.I.D. ZVM-X Series, they focused on rigidity. Traditionally, tensile strength has been the bench-mark to indicate overall strength, but tensile strength is only a laboratory statistic measurement of a chain’s fracture point. Rigidity, on the other hand, is the ability of a chain to withstand the forces that occur in the real world that riders experience. Increased rigidity means better power transfer from the engine to the ground, greater resistance to stretching under load and overall improved performance that meets the demands of our current high-power bikes and the people who ride them.
| Standard Sizes |
| Model | Chain Size | Front Sprocket | Rear Sprocket |
| | | |
| Honda CB1000R 2008-2010 | 116 Links | 16 Teeth | 44 Teeth |
| Remember to increase chain length when pricing larger than standard sprockets eg a 2003 CBR600RR uses 112 links with standard 16/42 sprockets, you may need 114 links to fit 16/44. |
