The tensile strength of the 525 chains I sell is the same as the 530 chains. Same for DID. With a slightly wider roller - about 1.4mm, the sprocket and chain life might be marginally better but at around £40 for a HD X-ring 525, the cost benefit of going to a 530 has got to be doubtful.

Hi there Greg, what chain would you recommend for a KTM 450 Exc and do you sell the sprockets as well, i think standard is the 520. Thanks

I'm looking to purchase a set for my 2011 F800GS HD X Ring and standard sized sprockets, if you would like to send me a price.

Thanks
