World Championship Racing Chain! Almost all Teams in MotoGP (e.g Yamaha, Ducati) and WorldSBK use this DID 520 ERV7 chain. It is the lightest chain which provides a safe function at the strongest and heaviest racing bikes. It has in addition an acceptable mileage.
Compared to OE chains of the latest serial superbikes (e.g. DID 525 ZVMX) the EVR7 is about 30% lighter and runs easier, too (racing chain). By less to accelerate masses and less in turning to accelerate masses, and easier run you will have a relevant performance advantage. The lower moment of inertia (by mass and turning masses) also provides a better handling.
Because of lower tensile strength (17% compared to DID 525 ZVMX) it is recommended not to use this chain for clutch-wheelies at two person rides. You also should change the chain, if there are obvious signs of wear.
