Black Edition sprockets, chains, batteries and filters
Belgium based DC-AFAM has launched a new Black Editon programme that includes a top-end selection from the brands it owns and distributes.
"We here at DC-AFAM are specialised in the production and distribution of premium motorcycle parts and accessories. Our new Back Edition parts are all high quality and high-performance products - just a little darker! - initially based around our AFAM, SHIDO and MIW ranges."

From its established internationally known AFAM sprocket line-up, the full range of SLK off-road sprockets are now available in Black Edition finish.
The superlight, high-durability black steel rear sprocket is a long-lasting T4 design with high levels of rust protection, induction hardened teeth and mud-grooves to make it self-cleaning. SLK sprockets are said to be lighter than competitor bi-metal sprockets.
A new off-road stainless steel front sprocket and the full range of AFAM fronts are available in Black Edition. Made in high durability, self-cleaning black steel, they are said to offer increased corrosion resistance and a distinctive and appealing look.

The new AFAM HDK rear sprocket seen here in high durability black steel is also made for long service life and has high levels of rust protection with induction hardened teeth, and are a "reasonably priced" new design that is available as a complete range of applications.
The new Black Edition MX6/XRR3 off-road chain range offers a new high quality, reduced friction, longer lifespan off-road chain in black - the company says that the MX6 has "much better durability than the MX5 chain and higher fatigue strength than A520MX5".

The second brand involved in the Black Edition programme from the outset is SHIDO. The high performance range now includes a new battery that has a much higher capacity and cranking power for the same dimensions as the standard lithium-ion range.

Described as a "unique motorcycle battery that delivers quicker cold starts for greater reliability", extra power-using devices on the motorcycle will drain the battery more slowly.
To match the distinctive Black Edition look, the SHIDO DC1.0 (1A) charger (for EU use) for lithium and lead acid batteries has a unique charging algorithm for every battery type - resulting in a longer battery life - with battery health check after charging, reverse polarity, overcharging, overcurrent, overheating and short-circuit protection, trickle mode and IP65 waterproofing.
"Great performance and great looks" - Jeroen Vanrysselberghe, Sales Manager.
Finally, and completing the Black Edition triumvirate, MIW is a leader in filter technology and one of the most respected OE and aftermarket motorcycle filter brands in the world with what is described "the most complete motorcycle air and oil filter range on the market".
For 2022, MIW has added new (black) off-road air filters for a wide range of the most in demand make and model applications - all in the same appealing Black Edition look - and all delivering the same high-quality filtration that has made the Japanese made MIW line a world leader.

"Our experiences have taught us that quality always wins," says DC-AFAM Sales Manager Jeroen Vanrysselberghe. "Our commitment is to continue to guarantee this quality with detailed attention to the development, strict procedures in production and an accurate follow-up in all our products and applications.
"With Black Edition we have taken a step further by delivering a cutting-edge, quality programme in a contemporary look and design package that is bound to be popular with riders - great performance and great looks."
