Notes on Manufacturer Chain Type:
- Z-ring - Renthal proprietary and patented X-ring design.
- TG-ring - Sunstar proprietary X-ring design. TripleGuard sealed ring technology where there are 3 sealing lips and lubrication pools on each side of the ring to maintain top performance in high heat, extreme conditions; the TripleGuard ring type is the best for lubrication and protection.
Note for installing X-ring chains: As X-ring chains are wider than standard roller chains, when fitting an X-ring chain to a motorcycle that was fitted with a non O-ring chain as original equipment, it is essential to check that there is proper clearance of the engine cases near the countershaft sprocket and any other places of close contact. Failure to do so could result in damage to the chain and motorcycle and could ultimately cause the chain to fail.
Note: Image is for reference ONLY, actual product will vary based on fitment and selection.
Some Helpful Tools: Try the Motion Pro Chain Breaker & Riveting Tool or BikeMaster's Heavy-Duty Chain Breaker & Rivet Tool to make removing your old chain and installing your new chain as easy and painless as possible.

D.I.D 520 ATV X-Ring Chain:
The D.I.D X-ring is superior to other types of O-ring designs; it has half the power loss and 1.5 to 2 times the wear resistance of a normal O-ring chain. 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. 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.
- Uses a special steel alloy designed specifically to provide the extra strength required for quad racing.
- Features the same low friction, long wearing X-ring technology as D.I.D's VX, ZVM-X, ZLV, and ERV chains.
- The ATV X-ring chain is engineered to create additional pockets to lock in grease to prolong the life of the chain.
- Solid rollers.
- Shot-peened parts.
- High cylindrical and roundness accuracy.
- Exacting tolerances provide low friction.
- Pre-stretched.
- Extended riveted bushing "Anti-Kink" design.
- Average tensile strength of 7,600 pounds.

D.I.D 520 ERT3 Racing Chain:
The best chain in motocross just got better, the D.I.D. ERT3 chain has been proven by the top teams in the world. With cutting edge technology and designed for the extreme conditions of racing, the D.I.D. ERT3 has 25% greater anti-shock performance and a 5% higher tensile strength over the previous generation chain without changing the weight of the chain. This means that the ERT3 is stronger without compromise while keeping the rotational mass to a minimum. Used and tested by professional motocross teams such as Factory KTM, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki, the D.I.D. ERT3 is the next level of chain performance. The gold coating also adds that level of factory look while giving the ERT3 excellent durability.
The D.I.D. ERT3 has SDH pin treatment that creates an extremely hard chromium carbide layer on the pin's surface while the inner core is maintained soft to absorb extreme shock loads.
The D.I.D. ERT3 uses solid bushing technology for high wear resistance. The cold-formed solid bushings have a smooth seamless surface with complete roundness, giving the chain exceptional wear life.
- Features gold color plates.
- 3% bigger pin diameter and 5% lighter than the former ERT.

Sunstar 520 XTG Tripleguard Sealed ATV & Offroad Chain:
An excellent choice for the most extreme off-road conditions encountered in ATV and/or off-road motorcycle racing, Sunstar's premier sealed Works level chain is the 520XTG (XTG = Xtreme Triple Guard).

This design effectively protects the critical areas of the chain from mud, sand, dirt and the harsh conditions encountered in off-road racing (hence the name Xtreme for extreme conditions) and the chain stays well lubricated for a long duration of use. The XTG is perfect for all ATV's and off-road motorcycles 750cc or less. All components are 100% heat treated and its tensile strength is rated at 8,460 pounds. It's offered in pre-cut lengths and uses a press fit, clip-type connecting link in the gold color option (gold outer plates / natural inners).
- Top of the line ATV and off-road racing chain.
- Features exclusive TG (TripleGuard) sealed-ring technology to guard the chain from sand or dirt entering and causing wear.
