DID Motorcycle Chains

DID motorcycle chains are among the most renowned in the two-wheel world, thanks to their reliability, durability, and high performance . DID (Daido Industrial Co. Ltd.) is a leading Japanese brand in the production of chains for street, off-road, and racing motorcycles, also used in MotoGP and Superbike.


Characteristics of DID Chains

🔹 High-quality materials – Constructed of heat-treated steel to resist wear and tear and high stress.
🔹 Advanced Technology – DID chains are designed with innovative technologies to reduce friction and increase durability.
🔹 Various types of gaskets – Depending on the usage requirements:

  • Standard : Without gaskets, economical but with a shorter lifespan.
  • O-Rings : Rubber seals that reduce friction and extend the life of the chain.
  • X-Ring and Z-Ring : Advanced technology that offers less friction than O-rings and greater resistance.
