Slapping new parts on your chassis won't mean a thing if your driveline fails under heavy load. The RLV Xtreme SilverStrike #35 Master Link (MPN: CHX5450) is engineered to keep your chain securely fastened, ensuring every ounce of horsepower transfers directly to the asphalt. Just like choosing good tire brands for maximum cornering grip, selecting the ultimate master link is critical for uninterrupted power delivery. As racers, the mechanical parts of us and our machines must work in perfect harmony, and RLV guarantees a connection that is just as robust as your will to win.
Bulletproof Your Driveline for Championship Runs
This isn't just a standard replacement clip; it is a precision-stamped, high-performance component tailored specifically for the RLV SilverStrike premium chain line. Featuring a distinct silver-on-black finish, this master link matches the exact tensile strength and wear characteristics of your Xtreme #35 chain. Whether you are tuning a high-revving Yamaha 2-cycle or dialing in a Briggs & Stratton with a freshly rebuilt lo206 carburetor kit, a snapped chain is a guaranteed DNF. The master link takes the brunt of the initial torque spike during standing starts and aggressive corner exits. By utilizing the CHX5450, you eliminate the weakest link in your drivetrain. Keep a handful of these essential connectors in your trackside toolbox, right next to your spare carburetor gaskets, clutch springs, and spark plugs, so you are always prepared for rapid gear ratio changes in the hot pits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this master link compatible with all #35 chains?
A: The RLV CHX5450 is specifically engineered for the RLV Xtreme SilverStrike #35 chain line. While it is a standard #35 size, we recommend using it with the SilverStrike series to ensure the tensile strength and wear characteristics match perfectly for maximum reliability.
Q: How often should I replace my master link?
A: As a best practice, you should inspect your master link before every race day. If you notice any signs of wear, deformation, or if the clip feels loose, replace it immediately. It is a low-cost insurance policy against a DNF caused by a snapped chain.
Q: Do I need special tools to install this master link?
A: No, the CHX5450 is designed for tool-free installation. The precision-machined clip allows you to snap it on and off by hand or with standard pliers, making it ideal for quick gear ratio changes in the hot pits.
Q: Which way should the master link clip face?
A: Always install the master link clip with the closed (rounded) end facing the direction of the chain's travel. This prevents the clip from catching on the chain guide or sprocket teeth, which could cause it to pop off during high-speed operation.
