D.I.D is a Japanese original equipment chain

In developing the Pro-Street VX Series, D.I.D focused on improving chain “Rigidity”. Traditionally, “Tensile Strength” has been used to measure the strength of a chain. But Tensile Strength is only a laboratory measurement of a chain’s “breaking point”. Rigidity increases a chain's ability to withstand forces that occur in a rider’s real world experience. Rigidity increases power transfer from the engine to the ground and greater resistance to stretching under load. This translates into smooth handling and quicker response time.

D.I.D's VX Series boasts a much longer chain life than the VO-Ring Series due to the patented X-Ring technology. The 520VX3 has a 32% longer chain life than the 520VO and the 525 and 530VX3 has a 41% longer chain life!

Renthal Sprockets

Renthal Hard-Anodised Alloy rear sprockets are manufactured from a special material developed to withstand the hardwork of road riding and road racing. The 7075 T6 aluminium alloy rear sprockets are 66% lighter than steel, yet feature the increased longevity from the hard anodising process. Hard anodising is an integral surface coating that significantly increases the hardness and wear resistance of the sprocket surface

JT Sprockets

Rubber cushioned sprockets have been widely used by the major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers since early 1990's to dampen the chain impact on the teeth of the front sprocket. JT Sprockets has now released these same sprockets to the after market. Quality, design and OEM proven technology are the same as used for what is supplied to the motorcycle manufacturers and genuine replacement parts.
