AD & H-DS, Much improved D.I.D Chains
AD & H-DS D.I.D chains recently out in the Philippine market to replace the standard and heavy duty D.I.D chains. Today I went to my favorite motorcycle spare parts store here in our place and I've seen these new D.I.D chains.SEE ALSO: List of Motorcycle Dealers in Philippines
In case you don't know D.I.D chains (Daido Kogyo Co., Ltd.) are used in Motocross and Moto GP bikes. You can also see these chains factory installed in sport's bikes and leisure bikes.
Features of AD & H-DS D.I.D Chain:
AD & H-DS has a forged solid bushing that gives more durability compared to the old chains with just bended bushing. AD is 60% more durable than the previous standard D.I.D chains while H-DS is 30% more durable than 428H (Heavy Duty).

Beware of counterfeit D.I.D chains as I've seen bad guys selling it to a cheaper price. Buy genuine product only at your trusted Motorcycle Spare Parts and Accessories Stores. To ensure you're not buying a fake product always look for the Philippine SGC Corp. and D.I.D hologram sticker.
