EK Chain has more than 80 years of experience in the motorcycle accessories sector, being also a pioneer in the development of the first chain with seals O-ring of the world in 1974. Since then the brand has evolved its top-of-the-range solutions for road and competition motorcycles with a range developed under the highest standards of Japanese engineering.
EK Chain 2026 chain range in detail
In high-performance motorcycles, each component directly influences the response, efficiency and reliability of the whole. The transmission, constantly subjected to enormous mechanical stress, plays a fundamental role in both performance and driving sensation. The maximum technological expression of EK Chain is represented by its ThreeD range.
These high-performance chains have been developed using advanced forging and precision machining processes, and offer an outstanding combination of lightness, strength and transmission efficiency. In addition to its high performance, the series stands out for its careful aesthetics and premium finishes that provide significant added value at all levels.
EK Chain Z Series
Developed specifically for high displacement sports motorcycles, the chains 520 Z/3D, 525 Z/3D and 530 Z/3D They have retainers QX2-Ring. These joints located in the links reduce friction and increase the useful life of the chain. Thanks to their machined plates, lightening holes and optimized design, they manage to reduce weight without compromising structural strength and also improving transmission efficiency.
The most performing motorcycles have an even more exclusive product within the EK Chain range: the chain 525 SPR/3D. This model has been developed to support the needs of motorcycles such as the Kawasaki Ninja H2R. Despite having a width of 525, it offers greater resistance than many conventional 530 chains, making it the ideal option for very high performance motorcycles.
Your catch NX-Ring It is another of the key elements of this chain, reducing friction by 15% compared to QX-Ringimproving thermal dissipation and extending service life. For large displacement motorcycles and users who prioritize maximum durability on the road, EK Chain also has the super reinforced range ZVX3tested and used by riders at the Isle of Man TT.
It is available in versions 428, 520 and 530this range has been designed to withstand high levels of power and intensive use, offering superior rigidity and durability clearly above conventional transmissions.
EK Chain VG Series
For specific use on circuit and competition, EK Chain has solutions developed directly for high-level disciplines. The VG series incorporates treatment OX-FSP in the rollers of the pins to reduce friction, being a chain aimed at very demanding categories such as MotoGP, WSBK or Stock1000, with very powerful motorcycles. Next to her, the R series It has been conceived as a balanced option for intermediate categories.
These ranges transfer all the EK Racing experience to specific competition applications where lightness, immediate response and resistance to wear are decisive. The Japanese firm also maintains a close relationship with manufacturers such as Kawasaki and Bimota, acting as an OEM supplier in different models and being the only chain manufacturer that originally equips the Kawasaki Ninja H2.
The entire EK Chain range is available through the official Bihr website, where you can find all the references and their updated stock, as well as a compatibility list so that both distributors and the general public can verify that the chain is appropriate for their motorcycle model.
