How Enduo works

The Enduo sprocket enables a conventional roller chain to contact and engage on both sides of the sprocket tooth forming a load-bearing and a supporting pair, what we term Dual Engagement.

The Enduo sprocket engages a standard roller chain by Dual Engagement, leading to reduction in roller chain wear, dramatically extending lifetime up to 2.2X and increasing chain retention.

New Motion Labs Facility. Sheffield, UK

Inside the facility, there are twenty-eight test rigs dedicated to the research and development of motorcycle, industrial and cycling drivetrains. This specialized setup allows our talented engineers to push components to their limits, gathering real-world performance data under controlled conditions. Every test run provides valuable insights into efficiency, durability, and power transfer, helping to shape the future of drivetrain technology.

Enduo Dyno Testing - BMW S1000RR Motorcycle

Enduo Motorcycle sprockets were tested on a Dyno setup with the following specifications

BMW S1000RR – Sport Motorcycle

  • 44 /16 sprocket ratio​

  • 520 DID ERV7 chain​

  • BMW S1000RR motorcyle

  • Duration of testing: 1 hour

On-Bike Testing - KTM 300 Motorcycle

In collaboration with 5x Enduro World Champion David Knight

,Enduo Motorcycle sprockets were put through its paces at his home track on the Isle of Man.

KTM 300 – Sport Motorcycle

  • 48 / 14 sprocket ratio​

  • 520 chain​

  • 293cc single-cylinder,

  • Fuel injected, 2-stroke

Testing included 90mph road test, rough terrain and sand with Enduo surpassing expectations.

Results

  • Rider experience was excellent.

  • Chain and sprocket engagement on both front and rear were perfect.

  • No concerns with noise or vibration.

  • When riding in sand the chain and sprocket engagement was superior to a conventional set up. No chain jump or skip

  • Enduo sprockets performed very well at high speeds on and off road.

High speed rig testing at the University of Kaiserslautern

Multiple tests were run comparing the performance of Enduo sprockets against conventional ISO sprockets to see how they both performaned at various torques and speeds.

  • Torques ranged between 100-400 Nm

  • Speeds ran from 2000-4600 rpm.

  • Tests were evaluating efficiency, chain and sprocket performance, chain slack and vibration.

  • The tests were to assess if Enduo motorcycle sprockets were suitable for high speed motorcycle applications and evaluate the results in a controlled test facility against conventional ISO sprockets.

  • Enduo motorcycle passed the high speed rig test.
