Ognibene Off-Road transmission kit

Bologna, Italy based chain drive transmissions and motorcycle component specialist Ognibene has a full range of options specified, designed and manufactured for the very particular needs, stresses and dynamics of off-road power transmissions - "getting the power from the engine to the rear wheel on motorcycles that will spend all their time coping with the rugged terrain and special demands of off-road riding is a very particular science," says Sales Manager Federico Arbizzani.
"The demands on materials and manufacturing technology are tough in the off-road world, but we understand that, we recognise that, and are able to bring 60 years of experience to every component we make for off-road bikes. We are able to combine performance with durability and aesthetics."



Ognibene supplies a complete transmission kit composed of D.I.D chains and Ognibene gears (front and rear sprockets) that has been based on that experience and the expertise developed in supplying major global brands such as Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, Yamaha, Beta, Honda and Husqvarna.
For over 50 years, Ognibene Motorcycle has been an official distributor of D.I.D chains - products that "are known and valued by motorcyclists all over the world." The 520 ERT3 series, specific to Motocross, is the "lightest and most compact chain on the market", whilst the 520 ERVT series, developed for Enduro, is said to be "the chain whose X-ring is the most resistant to extreme conditions".
The Ognibene Motorcycle front and rear sprocket range features various tooth set-ups to suit the specifications of the rider, the bike and the course - "so as to overcome all situations". The front sprocket is constructed with SCM 420 or 25CrMo4 steel with a carburising treatment to improve durability and lightening holes to reduce weight and improve performance.
The 7075-T6 aluminium alloy rear sprocket with CNC machining and mud discharge enables optimum maintenance of the teeth. It is recommended for use on the most popular motorcycles and models and comes in different colours to match the OEM colourways.
Ognibene Motorcycle has also designed a specific product for lubrication of the transmission kit, especially indispensable in Motocross - the Ognibene chain lube off-road.
To go all the way in terms of a complete turnkey package solution, Ognibene TROFEO brake pads in sintered ceramic with 07 compound are resistant to high temperatures. Available for both front and rear, they are said to deliver excellent braking at high speeds, in high-temperature conditions and extreme terrain - Morgan Lesiardo and the KTM Racestore Max Bart Racing team chose to rely on these products in the MX2 World Motocross Championship.
