When you’re going 350 MPH down the salt flats at Bonneville, you need to know that the chain you’re using will hold up for the ride! That’s why Denis Manning chose the tough EK ZZZ Series Chain for his BUB 7 streamliner…the World’s Fastest Motorcycle.

K Chains owns drag racing. You’d be hard pressed to find to find a quarter-mile hard charger anywhere who isn’t using an EK Chain to put the power to the pavement. When Denis Manning needed a chain at Bonneville for BUB 7, the 350-MPH World’s Fastest Motorcycle, he put on an EK, too. Factory Team Kawasaki uses EK Chains on their MotoGP bikes. See the pattern here? EK Chains are a top choice when everything’s on the line, when it’s performance and not just promises that needs delivering.
     Sportbike riders, MX racers, ATV enthusiasts and plenty of street riders can get that same EK performance. EK Chain has the full lineup, and now it’s all available in more sizes then ever. You can start with the EK ZZZ Series sportbike chains. The ZZZ Series is available in 520, 525 and 530 sizes, and that 530ZZZ is one tough customer. There’s up to 11,000-pounds of tensile strength here, more than enough to deliver the power generated by the biggest, baddest sportbike on the road. The ZZZ Series, in all the sizes, is about performance. A Quadra-X Ring Design increases chain life and reduces friction so there’s a maximum transfer of power. This is the chain Denis Manning used on that BUB Streamliner. Strong enough there, you know it’s going to be more than up to the demands of any streetbike. The ZZZ Series chains come in 120- to 160-link lengths, in 10-link increments. And they’re available in chrome, metallic gold or metallic silver colors so they look good, too.
     Then there’s the 530ZVX2, the best selling Extreme Sportbike chain EK has ever produced. This one is really popular and it’s no lightweight. The 530ZVX2 comes rated with a tensile strength of up to 10,560-pounds. EK’s Quadra-X Ring Design is here and the ZVX2 Series sportbike chains are offered in a rainbow of colors; there’s gold, chrome, black, red, blue, green or yellow. They’re all available in 120- to 160-link lengths, once again in 10-link increments.
     It isn’t all sportbikes at EK Chain, either. There’s plenty here for the MXers and off-road riders. Team Factory Connection Honda races with EK, with no chain-related DNFs. The MRD6 and MRDL6 Series motocross chains are incredibly strong, they’re lightweight and the connecting pins all feature EK’s exclusive CRH Treatment for increased strength and reduced wear. The 520 MRD6 and 520 MRDL6 are available in gold, red, blue, green or yellow, too, a nice accent touch for a dirt machine. There are lots of off-road, ATV and recreational chains, too, all leaving nothing to chance.      The SRX and MVXZ Series features that Quadra-X Ring Design for long life, reduced friction and maximum performance, while the SRO5 and SROZ Series chains are a great choice whenever an economical, O-Ring design is called for. All those off-road/MX chains are available in all the popular sizes.
     EK Chain even has chains for extreme drag racers, guys right at the top of the game, power-wise. These are the only chains made specifically for drag racing, by the way. These monsters come with tensile strengths up to 30,000-pounds. These are the chains guys like Larry McBride use. Those Drag Racing Chains, by the way, include the 530DR2, 530DRZ2, 630, 630MS, 630SHB and the 630SHBZ. So, do you have customers asking for chains? Whether it’s MX, sport, street, off-road or drag racing, show them EK…Parts Unlimited carries the full lineup.

EK’s Drag Racing Chains are made specifically for extreme drag racers like Larry “Spiderman” McBride. With tensile strengths up to 30,000-pounds, these monster chains are ideal for the drag strip.
