KAWASAKI Z 1000 [2010-2021] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-ring chain with rivet link sets new standards in performance and freedom from maintenance for motorcyclists. This state-of-the-art chain eliminates the need for regular lubrication, which is normally required every 1,000 km. Extensive testing in the laboratory and on the road has proven that the durability of the HPE chain is at least equivalent to, if not greater than, that of a traditional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chain.

An outstanding feature of the HPE 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 chain's bushings and rollers and reduces energy losses while increasing efficiency in the secondary drive. The extremely high hardness of the coated surface combined with a low coefficient of friction leads to a significant increase in performance.

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. The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring Chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value performance, durability and environmental protection.
