The “XW-ring” is made of an advanced Nitrile Butadiene composite and features three contact lips and two convex outer stabilizers. This means three lubrication pools to protect against high speed abrasion, extreme heat build up, torsional flex and loss of lubricant. These are best suited to MX or off-road bike applications.While on topic of chains....Anybody please comment on the difference between X-ring and XW-ring chains. Thanks, as I just noticed my 1200 Scrambler (MY23) has the XW-ring chain while my old Triumph was equipped with simply labeled X-ring.
