High-Performance Motorcycle Chains for Every Ride

At RPM Moto, we offer a comprehensive selection of motorcycle chains designed to meet the demands of various riding styles and bike types. Whether you're commuting through Brisbane's urban streets or tackling Queensland's rugged trails, our chains ensure optimal power transfer and durability.

Understanding Chain Sizes & Pitches: 420, 428, 420, 520, 525, 530, and 630

Motorcycle chains are categorized by their pitch (distance between roller centers) and width.

• 420 Chain: 1/2" pitch × 5/16" width — Common on small motorcycles, minibikes, and dirt bikes. Offers lightweight strength and agility.
• 428 Chain: 1/2" pitch × 3/8" width — Slightly wider than 420, used on light motorcycles and ATVs, balancing durability and weight.
• 520 Chain: 5/8" pitch × 1/4" width — Lightweight and popular for mid-range motorcycles, provides quicker throttle response and reduced rotational mass.
• 525 Chain: 5/8" pitch × 5/16" width — Balanced size, suited for larger motorcycles and adventure bikes.
• 530 Chain: 5/8" pitch × 3/8" width — Designed for high-torque applications like cruisers and touring bikes, offering enhanced durability.
• 630 Chain: 3/4" pitch × 7/16" width — Larger pitch and width, commonly used on heavy cruisers and some older classic motorcycles for maximum strength.

Choosing the Right Chain for Your Bike

Selecting the appropriate chain size is crucial for performance and safety:

• Mid-Range Motorcycles: Opt for a 520 chain to reduce weight and improve acceleration.
• Larger Motorcycles and Adventure Bikes: A 525 chain provides a balance between strength and weight.
• High-Torque or Heavy Motorcycles: A 530 chain offers increased durability and longevity.

Always consult your motorcycle's manual or a professional mechanic to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
