Regina – ZRP " one chain for all "
5-M59
Regina ' s ZRP chain range is genuinely the Big Bikes " One Chain for All " – Sport / Performance bikes, Adventure bikes, Touring bikes and Nakeds. Delivering " maximum strength and great durability " Regina ZRP is Original Equipment on select models including Aprilia, BMW, Ducati and KTM, among others. Though often described as a " Sportbike " chain, the ZRP product range is specifically designed for all large displacement, high powered bikes and is not a bike-style based design but is, instead, a statement of its ability to offer exceptional performance in high performance applications thanks to its patented Z- Ring. Indeed, ZRP chains feature renowned Z-Ring seals, a technology patented since 2003, which have a specially designed conical shape on the inner side of the seals that enhances the assembly on the bushing, and the lubricant trapped between the plates and the lobes of the Z-Ring keeps the ring lubricated- increasing its life and therefore the chain durability. When assembled, the Z-Ring flexes- creating a spring effect that follows the movements of the elements of the chains and their dilatation, and it guarantees a significant increase of the lifespan of the chain. The special Z-Ring section also limits the surface of contact between outer and inner plates, therefore reducing the friction of the entire transmission which means, at the end, a much more efficient power transfer, therefore more horsepower transferred from engine to wheel. " Assembled with best alloy steel pins and plates, solid bushings and extruded rollers, the combination of premium components assures excellent resistance to the kind of mechanical stresses that large displacement bikes generate." Available in 520-525 and 530, the ZRP is Regina ' s ' top of the range product ' in the Professional dealer and workshop segment(" Your chain, any time ")- merely offered as an aftermarket product. Regina also offers a " Regina Extra " chain which is specifically dedicated to the racing segment of the market. The combination of great power delivery
performance, reliability and durability, positions the ZRP range " as a must for all bikes above 1,000 cc; but if fitted on smaller displacement platforms it will offer longer durability " says Regina ' a International Sales Director Federico Gualdi. " Not only of the chain itself will last longer than standard chains but also for the entire transmission gear- extending the lifespan before a replacement will be needed. If you look at this in terms of dollars or euros, it is more convenient to equip the bike with a quality chain such as the ZRP. Based on the KMs ridden, it will show great savings. Just a few extra euros spent on the cost of a better chain will give the customer longer durability of the entire transmission in addition of the benefit of improved performance. " Compared to O-Rings, all Z-Ring seal chains deliver more power from engine to wheel, without wasting horsepower. The chain creates less drag because Z- Rings create less friction when compared to O-Rings. Additionally, under the same maintenance conditions, Z-Ring chains last up to 80 % longer than O-Ring chains thanks to the so-called spring-effect."
