Collection: EK Chain

EK Chain has been a go-to for kart racers who need chains that take a beating lap after lap. Made by Enuma Chain Mfg. Co., Ltd., these are high-strength drive chains in #219 and #35 sizes, tailored right for go-kart racing. No weak links here; they are engineered to transfer power smoothly from your engine to the rear sprocket under high loads.

Why EK Chain for Your Kart?

In karting, your chain sees it all: acceleration bursts, hard shifts, and dirt from the track. EK's #219 chains suit mid-to-high horsepower karts, like those running 125cc shifter or 450cc adult classes. They have thicker plates and precise roller fitment to cut stretch and wear. The #35 size fits smaller karts, youth classes, or lo206 packages where lighter weight matters but strength cannot be compromised.

We see these chains hold pitch longer than stock replacements. Racers swap them every 10-20 hours depending on track conditions, but they outlast cheaper imports by double that in most cases. Gold plating on the #219 models resists corrosion from chain lube and rainouts. Always check your master link; EK supplies clip-style and rivet options for secure installs.

Fitting and Maintenance Tips

• Match chain length to your sprocket centers; use a chain breaker for adjustments.
• Lube every session with a good wax-based product to quiet noise and extend life.
• Tension it right: about 1/2 inch up-down play on the slack side.
• Inspect for tight joints or side wear after each race weekend.
