Yup. X-ring too. They just soak up power. The 172FMM engine in the KPR makes about 20 hp. My KTM motocross bike came with a standard chain, and it makes 50hp. No compromise. ;)

If so you should be OK with 0.002" to 0.003" on intake side, and 0.003" to 0.005" on the exhaust side. The extra gap on the hot side is to make sure that heat...

In stock

All three Templars are available right now- base, M, and X.
Prices have gone up as predicted by a couple hundred. X is still under, but just barely under $2000.
