Japanese-based RK Chain was started in 1932 under the name ”The Shiga Factory of Takasago Tekko K.K”, and began by producing hinges. During the 1940s and 1950s, the company manufactured various components for a wide variety of vehicles, ranging from bicycles to airplanes. In 1953, they began producing chains for motorcycles. Thanks to the high demand for O-ring chains during the 1980s, RK Chain got some wind in their sails, and gained a reputation as being an innovative and progressive company. Today, RK Chain is a strong brand and is know for manufacturing chains with first-class materials for maximum strength, durability, and performance. Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Kawasaki are among RK Chain's best customers. RK Chain manufactures chains that meet the various demands of motorcycling and motocross, whether it be for pleasure or competition.
