HONDA CBR 1000 [2020-2021] - Z-ring chain

The Regina 525 HPE Z-Ring chain sets new standards in performance and durability for motorcyclists. Thanks to its revolutionary technology, this innovative chain no longer requires regular relubrication, which was previously required every 1,000 km. The HPE (High Performance Endurance) chain has been proven through extensive laboratory and road tests to offer at least the same, if not longer, service life than conventional, regularly lubricated Z-ring chains.

A special feature of the HPE chain is the coating with tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), one of the most advanced forms of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coatings. This coating is applied to the surface of the 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 improved 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. This chain is an excellent choice for motorcyclists who value performance, efficiency and environmental protection.
