Description
The Hyosung 125cc single-piston engines (RT, RX, and XRX) are legendary “thumpers,” but they are held back by an undersized 428-pitch drivetrain. Whether you’re green-laning on an XRX125, commuting on an RX125 SM, or touring on an RT125D “Karion,” the stock chain is prone to rapid stretch and sprocket wear. Our #HyoRiders Exclusive 520 X-Ring Conversion is a professional-grade overhaul that brings 650cc-strength durability to the 125cc platform.
💎 Touring Performance with the Daily Reliability!
By switching to a 520 pitch, the chain surface area is increased, distributing the engine’s torque pulses more evenly. This doesn’t just add strength; it changes the bike’s gearing dynamics entirely. With this kit installed, riders can expect to see 50mph in 3rd gear (out of 5), leaving the engine much more relaxed at cruising speeds. No more “chain rattle” or constant weekly adjustments—just smooth, reliable power to the rear wheel.
| 3X Longer Life 520 X-Ring tech outlasts 428 setups. |
Top Speed Boost Relaxed RPMs at 60-70mph cruising. |
| Off-Road Durable Sealed against mud, sand, and grit. |
Luggage Friendly Handles extra weight with less strain. |

Worn bearings cause uneven sprocket wear. This is the perfect time to inspect your rear wheel bearings. If you hear grinding or feel a “wobble,” get yourself a Wheel Bearing Kit for a total back-end refresh. We do sell the brake shoes though, click here to see the brake shoes

Got a set for my project bike a 12 front 48 rear on my xrx125 and it has made a lot of difference to the way the bike rides, it’s not a gear setup I got for top speed I wanted more acceleration so went with a 12/48 set up now the bike not only holds it’s top speed but I am able to go up hills or against head winds without changing down a gear, I can even accelerate up hills and change up gears that a normal 125 would struggle with.
Apart from the way it helps the bike run, the look of the new setup is so much better than the stock setup.
I can’t say how long it will last as only done a couple hundred miles, so far it looks good.
It’s a simple upgrade that’s worth the money
