The RK 530 XRE drive chain is designed for original-equipment replacement on mid-size motorcycles requiring dependable performance and smooth power delivery. With 118 links and a 530 chain size, this RK chain is engineered to support responsive acceleration for both on-road and off-road applications. Its lightweight construction helps reduce rotating mass while maintaining the durability needed for demanding riding conditions.
RK uses advanced chain technology developed through extensive on-road and off-road racing experience. The original double-X-shaped XW-Ring seal helps extend chain service life by retaining lubricant more effectively than conventional O-ring designs. Each seal creates three lubricant pools, helping reduce friction and protect internal components from wear. The chain is lubricated with specially formulated vacuum-injected U-grease, secured by durable Nitrile Butadiene rubber XW-Rings.
Polished and shot-peened link plates contribute to smooth operation and improved fatigue resistance, while the chain’s high tensile strength supports reliable performance under load. The RK 530 XRE includes a rivet connecting link for installation and is suitable for motorcycle applications specified for a 530-size chain and an 118-link configuration. Verify the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment requirements, chain length, and connecting-link style before installation.
