PRO GuIDe Ognibene adds 1/2 inch chain options to TROFEO kits Bologna based chain technology and power transmission specialist Ognibene, with years of experience in getting engine power to the rear axle, has introduced a TROFEO kit that is ideal for a wide range of short, medium and longer distance applications and requirements. Founded in 1948 (by Dante Ognibene), its TROFEO programme features products that place the emphasis on superior materials and construction for durability - advanced designs that deliver great performance and an excellent price/quality ratio that makes its kits value for money and "one of the most requested products in the aftermarket today," says Sales Manager Federico Arbizzani. "The Ognibene motorcycle TROFEO kit has a chain whose construction is very similar to the best chains on the market. It offers optimum value for money in the medium to high band of the motorcycle parts market. It is ideal for medium distances and speed and features our popular and patented 'Silent Sprockets' which guarantee noise reduction and help to prolong the life of the transmission. "Popular with several manufacturers, including Ducati and Fantic, where applicable, all TROFEO kits include a chain closing tool and a 50 ml lubricant spray can." Ognibene's 'Silent Sprocket' technology has been developed as a result of over thirty years of collaboration with some of the most prestigious and important chain brands in the world (including D.I.D and Nissin). The technology features a vulcanised rubber profile applied to both sides of the sprocket, which is said to guarantee a noise reduction of at least 2dB more than conventional kits, thereby extending transmission life. The brainchild of Franco Ognibene, these front and rear sprockets are made exclusively in C45 steel and Chrome/Molybdenum for strength, in a design that combines efficiency and high precision with reliability and durability. For 2020, Ognibene has added to its kit options, upgrading its 'standard' kit line with 1/2 inch chain applications (with or without X-ring), to complement its existing 5/8 inch X-ring range. The Ognibene 'Silent Sprockets' range includes over 400 product items, applications and fitments.
