Looking at a new chain for the 800GSA. As I'm just returning to this wonderful world of chain drive so I'm not sure what is top of the tree at the moment.
What's best out there folks?

It’s DID for me. Wouldn’t touch anything else. JJH^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's all a bit glib saying 'DID X-ring'!
Which one?
DID make at least 6 different X-ring chains. What do you want? Strength? Good wear rate? Lightness? Price?
I'd probably go for a ZVM-X - but it won't tick many boxes on price.

Keep away from the BMW OEM ones (which I was told are DiD) as they just stretch like elastic.

Can't remember which DiD chain I bought but it was a heavy duty one. Fitted it June 2018 and I do about 10K miles a year commuting on it. Very little adjustment needed and still plenty of life left in it and also the sprockets that I got with it. Would I buy another - yes.

I'm at 9,000 miles and the OEM chain is stretched already. DID it is and I look for longevity because I'll be doing 15k miles plus per year.
