whats the best brand chain
I am in the market for a new chain. I want a 530 x-ring chain however every company seems to have a few versions of this chain. So naturally I want some opinions from yall as to what the best brand and type of chain is. thanks in advance

I have the EK ZZZ chain. If you go to www.schnitzracing.com they give a pretty good description of each chain, types, strengths. Should help you decide on what you want for your application

guess I should have said non o-ring on mine, gets cleaned and lubed after every ride, for street the zzz is the best! I had the zzz on my 14, had to adjust it 1-2 times with 2000 miles on the clock

EK makes good chains period.
The EK's I ran on my dirt bikes would typically outlast the Regina and RK chains 3 to 1.
This is more important than most ppl know, as its a worn out over stretched chain that wears out sprokets prematurely.
