DID Chain – 520VX114 VX-Series X-ring – GOLD

D.I.D has merged their Professional O-Ring V Series and their top selling Premium X-Ring® VM Series into “ONE” New Pro-Street X-Ring® VX Series.

This series was created from the severe demands of today’s top World Superbikes. As a result, D.I.D is proud to introduce this New high performance VX Series.

In developing this new series, D.I.D focused on improving “Rigidity”.

• Traditionally, “Tensile Strength” has been used to indicate the overall strength of a chain. But this is only a laboratory static measurement of a chain’s “breaking point”.
• Rigidity, on the other hand, is the ability of a chain to withstand forces that occur in a rider’s real world experience.
• Increased rigidity means better power transfer from the engine to the ground and greater resistance to stretching under load.
• This translates into smooth handling and quicker response time.
• D.I.D’s race proven X-Ring® design delivers overall improved performance that meets the demands of today’s high-performance machines.
• The VX Series is the ultimate in performance and durability, and are a perfect match for your dual sport, sport bike or sport touring bike.

Unique Seals

• DID’s VX Chain uses patented X-ring seals. Like O-rings, X-rings function to seal in lubrication and keep dirt out.
• Where the cross section of an O-ring is circular, the cross section of an X-ring is ‘X’ or cross shaped.
• This gives the seal additional contact points compared to the O ring, offering superior sealing and protection against dirt and grit getting stuck under the seal.
• In addition, when under pressure an O-ring becomes squashed and causes friction.
• An X-ring, when under pressure, diverts this pressure by twisting instead, so an X-ring decreases friction between side plates and reduces power loss by 50% of any other type O-ring chain.

Half the Power Loss (Compared with Normal O-Ring)

• D.I.D’s PATENTED X-Ring construction reduces friction by twisting between the side plates instead of being squashed.
• Normal O-Rings and other makers’ modified O-Rings have squashed points that increase friction.
• The twisting action of the X-Ring disperses the pressure and minimizes power loss.

DID’s X-rings have 40% greater Wear Resistance. This is compared with Normal O-Ring.

• The X-Ring’s four contact points greatly increase its sealing performance,
• Keeping the dirt out and the lubrication in, much better than any other O-Ring.
• X-Rings have the greatest wear resistance of any other type of O-Ring or Non-O-Ring chain.
• This means more resistance to stretching, bowing and warping and smoother handling.
• With the proper maintenance an X-ring chain will last longer than any O-ring or unsealed chain.
