" Integral to the team ' s relentless performance, both riders relied exclusively on the RK 520MXU Gold Chain throughout the demanding 2026 season," said RK ' s Overseas Sales Manager Daisuke Takagoshi. " Designed specifically for the gruelling demands of high-level motocross and enduro, the 520MXU features our ultra-thin( 0.8 mm) UW-Ring technology. This advanced seal retains internal lubrication while shielding critical pins and bushings from abrasive dirt and debris- offering the extended wear life of a sealed chain at the competitive weight of a nonsealed chain." Weighing just 13.8 g per link- 0.1 g lighter than RK ' s 520MXZ5 non-sealed race chain-
DNA for Suzuki DR-Z4S / SM
the 520MXU matches heavy-duty tensile strength with zero compromise on agility. Unlike non-sealed chains that stretch progressively with track time, RK ' s sealed technology prevents elongation throughout its operational life, preserving precise chain pitch on the sprockets and ensuring maximum, continuous power transfer from the engine to the rear wheel.
