Rolon Brass Chain And Sprocket Review

Rolon brass chain and sprocket review

After 26000km of use, my chain and sprocket started giving issues. I agree the chain sprockets can last longer than that but I’m guessing I didn’t give it great care as required. Anyways it was time to swap the set for a new one.

I heard a lot about the Rolon brass coated chain and sprocket from many Himalayan owners. So even though it was more expensive (3100 INR) than the stock kit (around 2000INR), I decided to go for it. Here’s my review.

1. Silent operation of Rolon Brass Chain And Sprocket

The brass-coated chain is way more silent than the stock one. It’s so silent that you can hear more of the engine and exhaust note with every rev. The bike feels a lot calmer while cruising.

2. Smoother ride

The usual clunkiness of the stock chain is gone. The bike feels a lot smoother now. Maybe it’s because of the silence too but overall it feels a lot smoother.

Although the company promises better performance, I’m yet to notice any real-world improvement in power and torque.

The brass-coated chain has two major advantages.

  1. It needs less frequent lubing than the stock chain.
  2. It’s more durable and last longer than the stock chain and sprocket.

These advantages are yet to play out in the long run because as of now I’ve ridden with this chain sprocket kit for less than 2k km now. For the smoothness and silence this chain sprocket kit offers, it’s totally worth switching over.
