RK Excel RK MXU Sealed Ring Racing Chain

If a powersports dealer cares about it, MPN covers it.

Published: Mar 1, 2009

Check out the new RK MXU Sealed Ring Racing Chain. Its life expectancy is more than double that of non-sealed chains, as the seal keeps dirt out and lube in. Additional lube guarantees performance at the end of grueling moto — not just at the start. The thin UW seal keeps the weight low, reducing the rotational mass when compared to a standard sealed chain. Small seal contact points eliminate drag, and the Master Link incorporates a non-press side plate for slide on installation. Ideal for professional level 125cc to 500cc open class racing, MXU chains have a maximum tensile strength of 9,000 pounds per 100 links. Retail runs $116.03 for 120 links. Hook up with Excel online at www.rkexcelamerica.com or call (760) 732-3161.

Metzeler presents the new ROADTEC 02 tire, a mix of technology and sustainability that integrates the most recent technological innovations from the brand, redefining the benchmark for the Sport-Touring segment.

ROADTEC 02 is the first tire to use DYNATREAD, the patented adaptive tread design technology that allows it to adapt its behavior from Sport-Touring to Supersport based on the motorcyclist's riding style, almost creating a new category of tire: the “Super-Sport-Touring.”
