The new chain has been created to celebrate Rossi’s long relationship with DID and features an open drive design with hollow rivet link. The DID VR46 is an upgrade of the tried-and-tested 520/525VX2 and based on DID's latest and long-standing experience in MotoGP. The use of patented X rings means the DID VR46 should meet the highest demands on road and track. Oh, and it’s obviously laser etched with the nine-time world champions logo and race number!

Aside from the etching, the chain features an interesting design, with the inner links being coloured gold and the outer links being resplendent in stainless steel.

The DID VR46 is available in two versions, 520 VX2/VR46 – which is suitable for bikes from 125cc to 750cc. And 525 VX – recommended for motorcycle from 400cc to 900cc.

The DID VR46 is on sale right now and is available for £93.97 from Louis Moto.
