Modern motorcycle engines are getting stronger and stronger, and D.I.D continuously pursues improved chain designs to give riders the power they need. In developing the new D.I.D ZVMX series, we focused on Rigidity. Traditionally, Tensile Strength has been used to indicate the overall strength of a chain, but this is misleading because it is just the final static fracture value for a piece of chain being tested in a lab. This creates a confusing numbers game for riders and hides the real-world performance of the chain. Rigidity, on the other hand, is the ability of a chain to withstand the forces that occur in the range of riding that humans experience, not just numbers from a machine in a lab. Increased rigidity means better power transfer from the engine to the ground, greater resistance to stretching under load and overall improved performance that meets the demands of current high-power bikes and the people who ride them.
