Description
Smaller displacement motocross bikes run a 428 pitch chain instead of the 520 most riders are familiar with, and ProTaper carried the same Gold Series engineering down to that size with the 428MX1 chain line, including this matched master link. It uses the same technology and construction as the larger 520 MX chain, just scaled to the 428 pitch and the up to 125cc machines that use it, so the connecting link does not become the odd part out in an otherwise premium drivetrain setup.
Features and Benefits
- Matched to ProTaper’s 428MX1 Gold Series chain, sharing the same construction and technology as the 520 MX line
- Lightweight, ultra high-strength chromoly build rated to 5,800 lbs tensile strength
- Sized for up to 125cc applications running 428 pitch chain
- Keeps the connecting joint as strong as the rest of the chain loop
- Correct pitch match avoids the fit and strength issues of a generic universal link
Because it shares the exact rating and construction of the 428MX1 chain it is designed for, this master link will not become the weak point in an otherwise premium chain. Confirm your chain pitch is 428 before ordering, since this link will not fit 415 or 520 pitch chains, and keep a spare on hand if you shorten or swap chains between events. IPD Racing carries this genuine ProTaper part number, backed by the manufacturer warranty, shipped from stock.
