DID 420 Gold Chain 106L
The Problem Every Electric Motocross Rider Knows
The DID 420 gold chain 106L is the premium drivetrain upgrade for Sur-Ron Light Bee and Talaria Sting riders who demand the lowest friction and best corrosion resistance.
The Solution: DID 420 Gold Chain 106L
The DID 420 Gold Chain (106L) is the go-to upgrade for Sur-Ron Light Bee and Talaria Sting riders. DID (Daido) are the world’s leading chain manufacturer, trusted by MX and enduro racers for decades. The gold finish indicates a higher-grade surface treatment that resists corrosion and reduces friction compared to a standard steel chain.
Three Steps to a Better Drivetrain
- Order your DID 420 Gold Chain from eMotoX Sports, in stock and ready to ship.
- Fit using a standard chain breaker and rivet tool, no specialist skills required.
- Set correct tension via your chain adjusters, apply chain lube, and ride.
What Happens If You Leave It Too Long
Running a worn chain accelerates sprocket wear on both your front and rear sprockets. A £22 chain replacement can quickly become a £120+ sprocket and chain rebuild if left too long, and a snapped chain mid-trail means a long walk home.
Ride With Confidence
With a fresh DID 420 Gold Chain fitted, every watt from your motor reaches the rear wheel efficiently. Crisp throttle response, smooth power delivery, and the confidence that your drivetrain is running at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this chain fit my Sur-Ron Light Bee?
Yes, the DID 420 Gold 106L is a direct replacement for the Sur-Ron Light Bee X and L1E with the standard 13T front and 48T rear sprocket setup.
Does this fit the Talaria Sting?
Yes, the Talaria Sting and Sting R use the same 420 pitch, 106L chain as the Sur-Ron Light Bee.
Do I need a masterlink or rivet?
The DID 420D-106G is supplied with a clip link. For permanent fitment we recommend a rivet link, available with the Factory Image chain rivet kit in our Tools section.
What is the difference between the gold and steel DID chain?
The gold chain has a higher-grade surface treatment providing better corrosion resistance and slightly lower friction. Both are 420 pitch, 106L, the gold is the premium option.
How do I know when my chain needs replacing?
Check for stiff links, visible rust, or if the chain lifts more than 12 mm off the rear sprocket at the midpoint. A worn chain also makes the bike feel sluggish under acceleration.
How long will a DID chain last on an electric motocross bike?
With regular cleaning and lubrication, a DID 420 chain typically lasts 40–80 hours of riding depending on terrain and conditions.
Can I use this chain on a Sur-Ron Ultra Bee?
No, the Ultra Bee uses a 520 pitch chain which is wider. This chain is for Light Bee and Talaria Sting models only.
What lubricant should I use?
We recommend a dedicated MX chain lubricant such as XCP Chain Lube or Motul Chain Lube. Apply after every wet ride or every 3–4 dry rides.
How many links do I need?
The standard Sur-Ron Light Bee and Talaria Sting require 106 links with the standard 13T front and 48T rear sprocket combination.
Is DID a reputable brand?
Yes, DID (Daido) are one of the world’s leading chain manufacturers, supplying chains to MX, enduro, and road racing teams globally for over 70 years.
