D.I.D 525ZVM-X2 X-Ring Chain

The chain carries all of the engine's power to the rear wheel. A worn one stretches, kinks and loses its lubrication, and you feel it as a snatchy, uneven drive on and off the throttle long before it lets go. Sealed-ring chains (O-ring, X-ring and similar) keep grease sealed inside every link, which is why they last far longer on the street than non-sealed chains.

• ZVM-X Series utilizes D.I.D's patented X-Ring seal and has greater strength than the VX Series and is designed for heavyweight motorcycles with tremendous torque and horsepower
• ZVM-X Series’ Direct Energy Transfer, born from our experience in MotoGP, means greater stretch resistance under load
• Twisting action of the X-Ring increases its sealing performance and its four contact points minimizes power loss
• ZVM-X chain is a great chain for high powered street bikes but may also be utilized on adventure bikes
• Chosen by pitch and link count, not by bike model
• Count the links on your current chain, or check your owner's manual for the stock length

Change the chain and both sprockets together. A new chain on worn sprockets wears out quickly, and so do new sprockets on an old chain. If you change your gearing, the link count may change too.

From the shop

We highly recommend a rivet-type master link on any street bike. Fitting one takes a chain riveting tool, which you can buy from us in the shop, or we can install your chain and sprockets for you.
