I use the EK SRK X-ring chain right now.. I probably should use a non o-ring chain for what I do.. but... I'm lazy and dont like to clean and lube my chain much.. lol I've only had one failure with the EK chain.. but it was 100% my fault..

Personally I prefer the cuban links

Chains are like pipes, everyone swears by the chain they use. Ive tried like everything under the sun on my bikes and quads. Like NYUK said, the Regina chains were nice, pre stretched is the way to go. If you take care of it, and its decent it should last a long long time.

We have used a ton of different chains and found that the RK MXZ3 is about the toughest non-oring chain at about 8800lbs and last great. We just started carrying the sidewinder stuff and they claim 16000lbs but it is very expensive and we havent had a chance to test it yet on some of the bigger bikes. The sidewinder sprockets are gauanteed for life though but again very expensive.

I like just about any X-ring chain (Regina, RK, Primary Drive), but I definitely prefer a gold chain regardless of brand since they seem to resist rusting better than standard finish chains. The Primary Drive X-ring is hard to beat for the money.

Yes man and mine has not needed adjusting yet or anything of that sort. And i beat the living shit out of it in mud and all sorts of crap and it's hard to beat that price.

I still have the stock chain and sprocket on my banshee from 2004. I ride it pretty hard and I honestly haven't even had to tighten it yet. It's just now starting to get a little loose. I'm very happy with the stock chain!!! IMO

I am very impressed with the KMC chains. I get the gold o-ring chains and they have been very reliable on my other bikes, and I have one on my 'shee for 2 weeks now. Looks good and performs good too.
