RK XRE Drive Chain, 118 Links (520XRE-118)

The RK 520XRE-118 XRE Drive Chain is designed for original-equipment replacement on mid-size motorcycles. Built for dependable on-road and off-road performance, this lightweight and durable chain supports quick, smooth acceleration while delivering the tensile strength needed for reliable power transfer. Its racing-inspired construction reflects RK’s cutting-edge chain technology and is engineered to withstand demanding riding conditions.
The chain features RK’s original double-X-shaped XW-Ring seal, which helps extend service life by retaining lubricant more effectively than conventional O-ring designs. Three internal lubricant pools provide additional lubrication capacity, helping reduce friction and wear throughout the chain’s operating cycle. Specially formulated vacuum-injected U-grease is locked inside the seal by tough nitrile butadiene rubber XW-Rings for consistent protection against contamination and premature wear.
Polished and shot-peened link plates contribute to the RK 520XRE-118’s strength, smooth operation, and long-term durability. The chain includes a rivet connecting link for secure installation and is a practical choice for riders, technicians, and powersports professionals seeking a high-quality replacement drive chain. Use the RK brand and part number 520XRE-118 when verifying fitment for your motorcycle application.
