The Regina 520 HPE Drive Chain is a high-efficiency chain designed for medium- and small-displacement motorcycles. This 106-link model features Regina’s advanced Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C) coating, a Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) treatment applied to the bushing and roller surfaces. The coating combines high hardness with a low coefficient of friction to support smooth, efficient power transfer through the motorcycle’s final drive.
Designed to reduce maintenance demands, the Regina 520 HPE can eliminate the need for periodic chain lubrication while providing mileage performance comparable to a conventional chain that is regularly lubricated every 310 miles. By reducing lubricant spatter, cleaning requirements, and related consumables, it can help save time and reduce operating expenses associated with chain lube, fuel consumption, and motorcycle cleaners. Its lower friction characteristics also reduce energy dissipation and help improve drivetrain efficiency.
The Regina 520 HPE Drive Chain, manufacturer part number 135HPE/1002 and vendor part number 135HPE/1002, is intended for compatible medium- and small-displacement motorcycle applications using a 520-size drive chain and 106 links. Verify the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment specifications, chain length, and sprocket compatibility before installation. Sprockets must be made of steel; special sprocket coatings are not required for use with this chain.
