EK Chain The fastest motorcycles can't be that way without a key component
There is an element in every sports motorcycle that is vital, and not everyone gives it the importance it deserves
It's a silent yet decisive component. Every engine rotation, every acceleration, is channeled through it to the rear wheel.
When the power reaches staggering figures, there's no room for concessions. With that philosophy, EK Chain ZVX3 was born. It's an ultra-reinforced chain conceived in Japan for high-displacement sport motorcycles, both on the road and on the track.
The first thing that stands out in the new ZVX3 is its tensile strength, exceeding 11,023 lbs. (5,000 kg). This figure speaks for itself and ensures that not a single hp is lost in the power transfer.
Its robustness is combined with outstanding durability, thanks to decades of experience accumulated by EK Chain since its founding in 1941.
ZVX3, distributed in Spain by BIHR, is available in 520, 525, and 530 fieldes. With finishes in natural steel or gold anodized.
What's new in the EK Chain ZVX3 chain
The heart of this technological evolution lies in the new NX-Ring seal. Narrower and with an asymmetric X-shaped design, it manages to reduce friction by 15% compared to the previous generation. It also dissipates heat better.
This optimization not only extends the chain's service life. It also provides a smoother and more precise response with every twist of the throttle.
In practice, it means that the motorcycle delivers all its potential with impeccable linearity. That's true whether in the middle of a track curve or at a traffic light start.
The architecture of its links is another major advance. Manufactured from high-strength steel, they feature a narrower central contour.
Likewise, it adds perforations that reduce the total weight without compromising rigidity. The result is a super-reinforced, stable, and silent chain. It increases service life by 15% compared to the previous ZVX2.
Its prices range from €115.47 to €210.49, an investment that results in maximum reliability in secondary transmission. It's no coincidence that it has become the choice of professional riders and the most demanding motorcyclists.
EK Chain ZVX3 is not just a chain. It's the guarantee that every engine rotation translates into pure movement, without losses, with the resistance and precision that only Japanese engineering can offer.
