Regina passes on lower 525/520 Z-Ring HPE chain pricing advantage


 Historic Cernusco Lombardone (LC), Italy based chain maker Regina has further expanded the range of application coverage for its revolutionary HPE range of maintenance-free chains, adding a 520 application kit.

Having first unveiled its innovative Z-Ring High Performance Endurance HPE chain in September 2020, the company has capitalised on the success achieved in the past two years with its 525 series chain for high displacement motorcycles.


Three months ago, Regina announced that it had extended the range to also include 520 chains and has now confirmed immediate availability.

The addition of a mid-displacement application 520 Z-Ring High Performance Endurance (HPE) range application list means that the world's first maintenance-free chain offers dealers a two-chain HPE programme, together representing access to some 85% of available sales.

The new 520 Regina HPE chain contains all the unique and successful features of its bigger sister. Among the most important is the Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C) coating developed by Regina technicians and applied to the surfaces of the chain bushes and rollers. 

This guarantees resistance, smoothness and, above all, allows elimination of the periodic relubrication carried out by the rider every 500 km. An exclusive feature that, in addition to increasing its efficiency and duration, minimises the environmental impact produced by splashes of lubricant while riding.


What's more, due to the critical mass of production volumes achieved in recent years with the HPE 525 chain, Regina has managed to develop economies of scale that have allowed the Italian company to reduce the production costs of these chains. 

Paolo Garbagnati, CEO of Regina, stated: "This is a competitive advantage that we wanted to share with the market, making the entire HPE range much more accessible to all users and enthusiasts through sales price reduction - despite the increased energy and raw material costs at this difficult time."
