BMW Introduces “Maintenance-Free” M Endurance Chain

[Grumpy Goat]

i’m guessing here but it could be the sprockets also need some sort of coating to work properly with the chains coating. Will be interesting to see if the expected life of the chain and sprockets is different than current chains.

That’s actually a good guess. Never thought of that. These bikes have different sprockets so if special sprockets have to be matched with this chain, then I’d have to wait until they are available as a set. Otherwise to buy the chain and install on regular sprockets would probably reduce the chain to normal, as the coating wears off.

I applaud BMW for this innovation though. If it works it could revolutionize motorcycle design and threaten shaft drive as a propulsion option.
