SUNSTAR 520 MXR1 CHAIN AND WORKS TRIPLESTAR ALUMINUM SPROCKETS.

Sunstar's new 520 MXR1 Works chain and Triplestar aluminum sprockets are the dynamic duo of motocross and off-road drive systems. Using the latest advancements in metallurgy and manufacturing, they offer the ultimate in high performance and durability, at affordable prices.

From 125cc two-stroke motocrossers to open-class desert sleds, the 520 MXR1 chain efficiently delivers every bit of dirt-pounding power through a tough, non-o-ring design. All of its components are heat treated to produce a tensile strength rating of 8,970 lbs. The Works' burly construction mates 1.8mm-thick inner plates, 2mm outer plates and a clip-type connecting link to ultra hard, oversize, 17.7mm pins for unbeatable durability. Only 2.99 lbs. for 100 links, this lightweight drive chain comes in gold and is available in pre-cut lengths of 116 and 120 links.

Sunstar's complementary Triplestar aluminum rear sprockets are the longest-lasting, lightweight sprockets available for motocross and off-road riding. They are carved from the highest quality, aerospace-grade, 7075 T-6 aluminum. The standard color is finished with an extra thick, hard-anodized coating for added durability, which gives it up to a 15% increase in life expectancy over sprockets that are not anodized. Strategically placed, computer-designed weight-reduction holes give the Triplestars class-leading lightness and stability. For smooth, efficient power transfer, their exclusive tooth-valley design provides up to 50% more chain contact area than competitors' sprockets. Sunstar's premium sprockets are now available in 43 to 55 teeth sizes in the standard, hard-anodized version; sprockets finished in a handsome, black-anodized color option come in 48- to 52-tooth sizes.

This dynamic drivetrain duo is an unbeatable combination--whether attacking motocross tracks, flying across the desert or threading narrow trails.
