D.I.D X-RING® IS SUPERIOR TO OTHER TYPES OF O-RING DESIGNS
(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.

(Compared with Normal O-Ring)
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.
D.I.D has merged our Professional O-Ring V Series and our top selling Premium X-Ring® VM Series into “ONE” New Pro-Street X-Ring® VX Series. Created from the severe demands of today’s top World Superbikes, 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 Tensile Strength 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. To maximize performance, 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, now available at a new low O-Ring Chain Price. VX Series Chains are available in 428VX, 520VX2, 525VX and 530VX sizes. D.I.D’s New PRO-Street X-Ring® VX Series Chains are a perfect match for your dual sport, sport bike or sport touring bike.

• D.I.D ER chain is designed exclusively for racing.
• 520ERT2 is used by the top factory Supercross and Motocross Teams.
• 520MX chain has higher tensile strength for maximum performance and is ideal for muddy conditions. • D.I.D's exclusive SDH pin treatment is the secret behind the superior performance of our 520ERT2, 520 MX and all NZ Series chains. This hi-tech pin treatment forms an extremely hard chromium carbide layer on the pins surface while maintaining a soft inner core.
• SDH treated pins have extreme impact strength while maintaining outstanding shock absorption. This treatment creates a chain with anti-oxidation properties and superior wear resistance against invasion of hard foreign materials.
For offroad applications where a sealed chain is preferred, D.I.D's 520VT2 X-Ring® chain provides excellent low friction high performance. X-Ring® chain has 1.5 to 2 times greater wear resistance than standard O-Ring chain.
