THE HEART OF
TRUE PERFORMANCE

The drive chain of a motorcycle is a very important element to determine the motorcycle’s performance. Most motorcycles rely on a chain and sprocket setup to transfer the engine power to the rear wheel without fail. RK South Asia, as the pioneer in chain and sprocket making, gives you the drive mechanism with Extra Power and Extra Miles.

GO FOR DISTANCE

The Suzuka Legend

In the inaugural 1978 Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race, the grueling conditions pushed every machine to its breaking point. While competitors struggled with multiple chain failures, the winning team secured victory using only one RK chain for the entire duration, cementing our reputation for unbreakable endurance.

// Key Milestones & Legacy

The "Unbreakable" Claim RK chains withstood the brutal torque and track conditions of the 8-hour marathon without failing, while competitors suffered multiple chain snaps.
Historical Impact The race originally pitted the massive, unlimited-resource prototype engines from the "Big Four" Japanese manufacturers against one another.
Global Recognition The grueling event is widely considered the crown jewel of world endurance motorcycling, pushing both man and machine to the absolute limit.

THE X-RING SOLUTION

Standard chains suffer from lubrication loss and dirt penetration, causing rapid elongation (stretch). RK's proprietary X-Ring seal features an X-shaped cross-section that redefines efficiency.

01

Double Lubrication Pool

The X-Ring design forms two separate lubrication pools on each side of the sealing lips. This dual-barrier system seals grease in permanently and locks out water, grit, and road grime.

02

50% Friction Reduction

By dividing the contact point into two thin lips, the X-Ring minimizes the surface area in contact with the inner and outer chain plates. This reduces drag by 50% compared to standard O-Rings, releasing more horsepower to the rear wheel.

03

10X Durability vs Standard

Constant self-lubrication prevents pin-and-bushing wear, offering up to 1000% (10x) wear life over non-sealed chains and 40% longer service life than conventional O-Ring chains.

SPECIAL SEALING ENGINEERING

While other brands focus mostly on basic X-Rings, RK engineered hyper-specific seals for different riding styles:

RK UW-Ring Seal
// RACING & MOTOCROSS

The UW-Ring

An ultra-thin, lightweight seal designed for Motocross and racing. It matches the weight and minimal drag friction of a non-sealed chain but gives you the long life and internal lubrication of a sealed chain.

The XW-Ring

A triple-barrier seal with three contact lips and two lubrication pools. It is engineered to prevent fine desert sand (like in the Dakar Rally) and intense track heat from destroying the factory grease.

GXW RACING PERFORMANCE

The GXW Series is RK’s flagship product, engineered for extreme high-performance superbikes. Equipped with our premium XW-Ring technology, it delivers unrivaled reliability and heat resistance under the most demanding racing environments.

01

XW-Ring Triple Barrier Protection

Featuring 3 sealing lips and 2 outer pools, the XW-Ring provides a triple barrier against dirt, moisture, and extreme centrifugal force, preserving lubrication up to 1000cc+ superbikes.

02

High Speed Centrifugal Stability

Standard O-Rings or X-Rings can warp at speeds exceeding 250 km/h due to centrifugal force. The XW-Ring's reinforced structural fins prevent deformation, ensuring constant lubrication.

03

Endurance and Heat Resistance

Built specifically for high-load, high-temperature operations like Moto2 and 24-hour endurance racing, offering up to twice the wear life of standard X-Ring chains.
