Best for the money
This chain was over $40 less than other brands of X-ring chains my dealer could order. It is far better than the EK 520SRO stock chain on my KLR650. It includes a master link. Besides the better X-ring seals, the link pins are larger on this chain. Since I installed my chain, it has gone over 2000 miles without needing an adjustment, and it's looking like it will go another 2000 as I can't tell that the chain has stretched a bit. I use Maxima Racing synthetic chain lube on the rollers every tank of gas. You only need to condition the seals about every month or so. Therefore, the chain and rear tire stays comparatively clean. The seals seem to have less drag than the original o-ring chain so the chain seems more flexible. For the money this seems to be a 5-star product. $77 for an X-ring chain is a true bargain.

EK - 520SRX X-Ring Chain
The chain was as described. Chain also included a master link which was not noted so I purchased one with the chain that I did not need.

I put this chain to the test on a deep woods trail on a steep northwestern and it needed to pull me up hill with rocks and roots while taking some punishment on the same. The bike was grinding back and forth, looking for a grip and the chain never failed me. The previous chain was an EK too. It gave me 10,000 miles without fail (Dual Sport bike, about 50% highway use). The sprocket was seriously cupped by the time I swapped, but the chain still looked great. I expect another great life from this chain.
