VX2 Pro Street X-Ring
Chances are good that your bike came with a D.I.D. chain when it was new - manufacturers know the reliability and consistency of D.I.D. brand. But since your bike was new, technology has moved forward... O-rings have been replaced in DID chains, by X-Rings, for half the power loss and longer life!
One Rivet master link is included (note that some kits only come with a clip link, but we only sell the kit with the rivet link included. Clip links are not legal for racing)
Spare master links are available.
Half the Power Loss (Compared with Normal O-Ring)D.I.D's PATENTED X-Ring construction 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 action of the X-Ring disperses the pressure and minimizes power loss.
1.5 to 2 Times Longer Wear Resistance (Compared with Normal O-Ring)The X-Ring's four contact points greatly increase 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.
