HIGH SPEED & PERFORMANCE

RK's GXW series are the top of the line Superbike and Roadracing chains, offering the best in high-speed
and extreme heat performance. The high-tech XW-Ring seal is made from advanced Nitrile Butadiene
composite and features three contact lips and two convex inner/outer stabilizers. This means three lubrication pools to protect against high-speed abrasion, heat build-up, torsional flex and the loss of lubricant
under extreme conditions.
GXW chain seals are compression and distortion resistant to provide the ultimate in rotating efficiency.
As a result, GXW chains provide the user with up to 10 times longer wearlife compared to standard chains.

AFFORDABLE PERFORMANCE
Looking for an affordable, long lasting performance chain? Look no further, RK's XSO & KRX chains offer
less torsional friction and increased high-stress, high-speed performance providing a longer lasting chain
at an affordable price. All RX-Ring chains have X shaped seals and improved metallurgy giving you 7
times longer wearlife than standard O-Ring chains. Viewed in cross-section, the RX-Ring has two lubrication pools and contact lips versus the single contact design of a standard O-Ring chain. Giving the chain
a longer life gives you more value for your money.

RK'S SEALED-RING CHAINS IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

AND INCREASE DRIVE CHAIN DURABILITY
EVOLUTION OF RK'S SEALED-RING CHAIN
RK's sealed-ring chains received the spotlight back in 1977 during 24 hour endurance racing. It was common for riders to
change their non-sealed chains at least three times during the race. However, racers riding with RK's sealed chains achieved the
win with only one chain!

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE AN RK SEALED-RING CHAIN?

1.
2.
3.

Lasts longer
Improved drive chain life
Absorbs torque and improves acceleration

RK's sealed-ring chains oer less torsional friction and increased high-stress, high-speed
performance. From the beginning of a race to the end; RK's sealed-ring chains deliver more
consistent horsepower to the ground than non-sealed chains. The nitrile butadiene seals
ensure that lubrication stays inside the chain while keeping dust and dirt out. Most RK
chain seals have lubrication pools that protect against high speed abrasion, heat build up,
torsional ex and loss of lubricant under extreme conditions, resulting in longer life for the
chain and sprockets.

WILL I LOSE HORSEPOWER BY RUNNING A SEALED-RING CHAIN?

The answer is yes and no. It is true that initially non-sealed chains do
produce less friction when compared to sealed chains. However as
time/rpm increase, sealed-ring chains signicantly outperform non-sealed
chains. During normal use chains heat up and expand; this expansion can
create friction resulting in horsepower loss. Due to the increased internal
lubrication of sealed-ring chains, friction is reduced, allowing the chain to
more freely transfer horsepower to the ground.

WHY DOES RK HAVE SO MANY SEALED-RING CHAINS?

RK currently has ve types of sealed-ring chains and each has its own features and benets. After several years of development,
RK produced the RK and XW seals which drastically improved the chain life and performance. As racing expanded into several
dierent genres, RK added the ultra thin U-Ring and UW-Ring. Each seal is specically designed for a particular use to provide
the ultimate in rotating eciency while providing longer wearlife.
