D.I.D is the number one motorcycle chain in the world. D.I.D chains
are used by factory races teams from all manufacturers in race series
everywhere.
The D.I.D ERV3 X-ring chain is the ultimate high-performance,
lightweight, low-friction race chain available and is used extensively
by many off-road race teams. The ERV3 X-ring chain utilizes D.I.D's
patented X-ring technology which reduces friction by 50% over standard
O-ring chains for minimized power loss. The pins on the ERV3 X-ring
chain have been put through a patented heat-treatment process to produce
a pin that is 1.5 times harder than conventional pins. The result is a
chain that is significantly stronger and offers better wear resistance
than many other chains on the market. D.I.D ERV3 X-ring chains feature a
gold-plated finish that resists rust and adds a little style to your
motorcycle or ATV.

Half the Power Loss - Compared with Normal O-ring chains,
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.
1.5 to 2 Times Longer Wear Resistance - Compared with Normal
O-ring chains, the X-Ring's four contact points greatly increase its
sealing performance. This keeps 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.
Note for installing X-ring chains: As X-ring chains are wider
than standard roller chains, when fitting an X-ring chain to a
motorcycle that was fitted with a non O-ring chain as original
equipment, it is essential to check that there is proper clearance of
the engine cases near the countershaft sprocket and any other places of
close contact. Failure to do so could result in damage to the chain and
motorcycle and could ultimately cause the chain to fail.
