Notes:
- Pitch refers to the distance between two adjacent pins on the chain, measured in millimeters (mm).
- Link Count varies depending on the motorcycle’s sprocket size and rear wheel diameter. You can adjust this depending on your bike’s specifications.
- Weight per Meter is an approximation of how much a chain weighs for each meter in length.
- The weight can vary depending on the brand, and some manufacturers offer specialized options for durability or reduced weight.
