RK – Takasago Chain

RK is simply THE number 1 motorcycle chain manufacturer – since 1953!
The name "RK" comes from the initial of the word "Rollenkette" in German.
The fact that the German language was used shows respect for the high technology of the Germans in the 1950s and RK's vision of maintaining the highest technology through endless research and development.
Thanks to relentless research and development, RK has been able to achieve technological TOP-level worldwide.
For over 40 years, RK has supplied all renowned Japanese motorcycle manufacturers with original equipment. RK is also the first choice of numerous teams in international motorsport, including MotoGP, the Motocross World Championship, Enduro, and the Paris-Dakar Rally.

RK offers the best O-ring chains in the industry.
All RK O-ring chains are made with hi-carbon alloy steel for strength and durability.
The application of nitrile-butadiene O-rings seals the lubrication and ensures consistent performance with minimal ring resistance or loss of performance.

This is an optimized O-ring chain. Its precision provides the best possible sealing, preventing leakage of lubricant.

– O-ring chain
– Lubricant leakage is prevented
– Lifespan is extended by more than double compared to a non-O-ring chain
