motorcycle chain
Two-wheeled drivetrain link
A motorcycle chain is the metal loop of linked segments that transfers power from the engine to the rear wheel.
Like a bicycle chain but heavier and stronger, it requires regular lubrication and tension adjustment.
The motorcycle chain snapped at highway speed.
Chain drive remains common on motorcycles despite belt and shaft alternatives.
