DID 530 VX X-Ring Chain

DID's VX Chain uses patented X-ring seals. Like O rings, X rings function to seal in lubrication and keep dirt out.

Where the cross-section of an O ring is circular, the cross-section of an X ring is X, or cross, shaped. This gives the seal additional contact points compared to the O ring, offering superior sealing and protection against dirt and grit getting stuck under the seal.
In addition, when under pressure, an O ring becomes squashed and causes friction. An X ring, when under pressure, diverts this pressure by twisting instead, so an X ring decreases friction between side plates and reduces power loss by 50% of any other type O-ring chain.

DID's X rings have 40% greater wear resistance than an O-ring chain and 36 times that of a DID standard chain. This means more resistance to stretching, bowing and warping, and smoother handling. With proper maintenance, an X-ring chain will last longer than any O-ring or unsealed chain.

JT Sprockets

JT is the best selling aftermarket sprocket in the world. Using the finest raw materials and cutting-edge technology in production, CNC computer design and precision machining, JT ensures maximum durability and performance.

JT front sprockets are made with SCM420 chromoly steel alloy, while the rear sprocket is manufactured with ultra-durable high-carbon C49 steel.

DID VX drive chains are always supplied 'open' with a rivet link (included). You will need a specialised tool in order to rivet the chain, or take it to a mechanic who can do it for you. A spring link is available, but a spring link has only 65% of the strength of a rivet link and therefore, a rivet link is always recommended.
It is important to periodically inspect and lubricate the chain to maximise chain life.
