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.
