ZZZ EK discontinued?

[Statman]

Im being told the EK ZZZ chain has been disconrtinued, yet there is no mention of this on the EK site.

Looking for chrome or nickel in 530-150

Would the zvx chain be the next choice?

Zvx3 is the replacement

Wonder why they replaced it? Heard absolutely nothing but good things about the ZZZ??? That's all I've ran on my busa since I got it

Being sent a DID because of this

^^^ that sucks....

 

[dadofthree]

Yep, that's what I was afraid of, WTH

Why? DID makes an excellent chain. If a DID ZVM-X is coming in the mail it's better than the EK ZZZ everyone raves about.

The guy just kept repeating it's 14 rated We will see.

How so?

I killed a ZZZ in three passes. Not a good choice at 870lb.

DRZ2 is like brand new after 40-50 passes.

I don't make passes but I was getting 30K out of my 3Z

DRZ2 is made by EK they also made the ZZZ. I find it hard to believe you killed a zzz in 3 passes. I put 100 plus on my stage2 turbo busa with a zzz chain,,as a matter of fact it was the only chain that held up to street and track use. The DRZ2 burnt up to quick on the street because you couldn't keep it oiled enough.
