Description

Tsubaki Road Chain 530 RQ1 – 118 Links

The Tsubaki 530 RQ1 road chain with 118 links is a premium X-ring final drive chain engineered for high-performance road of Tsubaki's RQ1 series, it combines high tensile strength, low friction and extended service life in a compact 530-pitch format, and is supplied under part number 55212530118 as a 118-link 530 RQ1 road chain.

Key Features

High-performance 530-pitch chain from the Tsubaki RQ1 road series, developed for machines with more than 150 hp.
Gold-coloured outer plates for a distinctive appearance and enhanced corrosion resistance.
Low-friction X-ring seals retain factory-applied lubrication while reducing drag and power loss compared to conventional O-ring chains.
Pre-stretched at the factory to minimise initial elongation and help maintain more consistent chain tension after installation.
Quad-staked rivet construction for increased resistance to push-out forces and high load capacity.
Supplied as a 118-link length, suitable for many large-capacity road bikes using a 530 chain when matched to the correct sprocket sizes.
Includes a rivet-type master link with hollow pins for a secure, high-strength connection using standard riveting tools.

Performance and durability

The Sigma / RQ1 530 construction offers an average tensile strength of around 45.1 kN and is suitable for high-output motorcycles up to roughly 200 hp when correctly matched to the drivetrain.

Typical Applications

The 530 RQ1 118-link chain is designed for demanding road use where strong, durable final drive components are applications include:

Litre-class and other high-performance sport motorcycles using 530 final drive systems.
Powerful naked bikes and sport-touring machines where smooth, efficient power transfer is important.
Custom builds and big-twin road motorcycles that require a robust 530 chain with high tensile strength and reliable sealing.
Applications where long service life, stable adjustment and reduced friction compared with conventional O-ring chains are prioritised.
