Rolon HPXR 253 X-Ring Chain & Sprocket Kit – KTM Duke 200 / RC 200 (14T/42T, 110L)

Sort out chain noise, jerks and power loss on your KTM Duke 200 / RC 200 with the Rolon HPXR 253 X-Ring Chain & Sprocket Kit. Designed specifically for KTM’s 200 cc singles, this kit matches the OEM 14T front / 42T rear gearing with a heavy-duty 520 X-Ring sealed chain (110 links), giving you smoother acceleration and longer service life than a stock open chain.

Rolon is one of India’s largest OEM chain suppliers and their sealed X-Ring technology keeps factory-filled grease locked inside the pins, reducing friction, stretching and rust even in rain-and-dust Indian riding conditions. The kit is a direct-fit for KTM Duke 200 / RC 200 that run 14/42 sprockets and a 6-bolt rear hub – ideal for city rides, weekend highway runs and occasional track days.

Buy from Under The Hood and you also get genuine, fresh-stock Rolon kits, careful packaging, rider support over WhatsApp, and the option of professional installation at our studio in Varanasi. If your chain has tight spots, uneven wear or your Duke feels rough and noisy, upgrading to this HPXR 253 kit is one of the best reliability and performance mods you can do.

Installation & Maintenance Notes

• Always compare your existing sprockets (tooth count and bolt pattern) with the new kit before installation.

• Replace chain and both sprockets together to avoid premature wear.

• Maintain correct chain slack as per KTM manual (typically 5–7 cm measured mid-span with bike on side stand – check your owner’s manual).

• Clean the chain every 500–700 km with a good chain cleaner and re-lube with chain spray suitable for X-Ring / O-Ring chains.

• Avoid pressure-washing the chain directly; high-pressure jets can damage X-Rings and wash out grease.

• For riders who tour regularly or ride hard (track/spirited), inspect chain slack and sprocket teeth more frequently.

FAQs

Q1. Will the Rolon HPXR 253 kit fit my KTM Duke 200 BS6?
A. It is designed for KTM Duke 200 models that use 14T/42T sprockets, 520 chain and a 6-bolt rear sprocket. Most Indian-spec Duke 200 and RC 200 follow this spec, but please confirm tooth count and hub pattern on your bike before ordering. If your stock setup differs, contact us on WhatsApp and we’ll help you choose the correct kit.

Q2. What is the difference between HPXR 253 and cheaper chain kits like BSOR 181?
A. HPXR 253 uses a heavy-duty X-Ring sealed chain, which holds lubricant inside the chain and reduces friction, stretch and rust. Standard kits like BSOR 181 use a non-sealed roller chain, which is cheaper but needs more frequent lubrication and typically wears out faster.

Q3. Is this kit better than the stock KTM chain & sprockets?
A. Rolon is an OEM-level supplier, and this HPXR 253 kit matches or exceeds stock quality. Many riders report smoother drive, reduced noise and longer life when chain maintenance is done properly, especially compared to worn OEM chains.

Q4. Will this affect my bike’s top speed or mileage?
A. No. The kit keeps the factory 14/42 gearing, so your speedometer, top speed and cruising rpm remain unchanged. With a fresh X-Ring chain and correct slack, you may even feel slightly better pickup and smoother cruising thanks to reduced friction.

Q5. How do I know when my old chain kit needs replacement?
A. Signs include tight spots, excessive chain slack even after adjustment, hooked / sharp sprocket teeth, metallic grinding noise and jerks while accelerating. If you see these on your Duke 200 / RC 200, it’s time to switch to a fresh kit like Rolon HPXR 253.
