DID 520 VX3 GB X-Ring Gold Drive Chain ZJ Rivet -116

Best chain on the market and only one we use on our personal bikes here at Rutherford Racing. 116 links: Slightly shorter, better for standard setups or smaller rear sprockets. ZJ Rivet (Rivet-Type Master Link): This link requires a chain tool to both press on the side plate and rivet (peen) the pin heads. It creates a permanent, factory-like connection that’s more secure and durable, especially for high-performance or long-distance riding. SSIn developing this series, D.I.D focused on improving ‘Rigidity’. Traditionally, ‘Tensile Strength’ has been used to indicate the overall strength of a chain. But Tensile Strength is only a laboratory static measurement of a chain’s ‘breaking point’. Rigidity, on the other hand, is the ability of a chain to withstand forces that occur in a rider’s real world experience. Increased rigidity means better power transfer from the engine to the ground and greater resistance to stretching under load. This translates into smooth handling and quicker response time.
