Renthal R1 MX Chain 520-118L

Renthal R1 Chain is a high-performance, lightweight, low-friction, non-o-ring chain specifically engineered for racing at the highest levels. Often described as "the best motocross chain available", the R1 Chain has high resistance to elongation and severe abrupt stresses encountered in MX & SX racing. This is achieved by manipulating raw material composition to increase tensile strength and yield strength

Each R1 Works Chain features chamfered inner links, extended bushings, shot-peened outer plates and manufacturing processes. This reduces weight in a durable and safe motocross chain that can be trusted to deliver maximum power output in any condition.

SHOT PEENED

The Steel plates are shot peened to give them a high tensile strength and maximum impact load resistance.

CHAMFERED LINK

The Inner links are chamfered, this process helps reduce the chance of chain derailment in the toughest conditions.*

*415 and 420-R1 chains do not have chamfered inner links

CHROMISED PINS

Specifically for the off-road market, the bearing pins are chromised, giving them excellent resistance to wear in the gritty conditions endured in off-road racing.

BUSHINGS

Pre-formed bushings distribute the load, resulting in greater chain life. The bushings extended to reduce friction between inner and outer link plates, maximising power output.

SPECIAL FINISH

The gold side plates have a corrosion-resistant plating that provides it with an attractive colour to match all motorcycles.

PERFECT MATCH

Pair with any Renthal Chainwheel and get the maximum power at the rear wheel with extended life for both chain and chainwheels.
