Has anyone used CZ O-ring chains? Apparently similair quality to Japanese chains such as DID but I hadn't heard of them till recently...

Race-Spec have sold them for a while.

Not ever used them myself,but many chain makers say that their product is the same as DID.Sales talk might sell some products,but reliability and recommendations sell far more.

I prefer D.I.D. Thumbs Up

They seem to be on sale widely in the UK. I did read that they are OEM spec on BMW and KTM offroad bikes now!

Bought one for my road legal pit bike as I just wanted cheap and cheerful, quality didn't seem to bad, but on a proper road bike I wouldn't want one on my bike.

Stick with the known names.

The OEM chain fitted to my KTM enduro was a Regina made item.Having experienced how bad these chains have been in the past I fitted a DID chain before I even rode the bike.This lasted for 3800 miles with careful cleaning after an enduro or extended green laning expeditions.

But from what I have read more recently KTM now fit DID chains

The reason I asked is that I ordered an RK o-ring chain from M&P recently and they sent me a CZ chain instead Crying or Very sad

I did a bit of research online and mainly positive comments, and M&P have the CZ chain listed for more money than the RK equivalent chain so I haven't complained to them yet.....

I would ask them to send you what you ordered.

The RK chain is almost as good as a DID.
