DID VM or ZVM X Ring chain??
Hi guys, i am about to buy a new chain and sprockets for my XTZ660 for and around Australia trip. I have decided to go with Chain Gang Steel sprockets and a DID chain. After doing some search's on this forum it seems that the DID VM X ring is the way to go. But the guy at Chain Gang said i should go for the DID ZVM X Ring, which is $220, $80 more than the VM X Ring. His argument was that the ZVM would be better suited to the conditions i will be putting it through such as long continuous riding, and all the dusty sandy roads i will be taking as well as i will be doing allot of offroad riding aswell.
So my question is he right in suggesting the expensive and high quality DID ZVM X Ring?, or is the DID VM X Ring fine? I just seems that the ZVM is a bit of overkill for a 660cc, and that from what i have found in this search is most use the VM for 650cc bikes, some doing even tougher trips than me. Whats your opinion?, is the ZVM worth the extra $80 for my application. Thanks Brad

Both are good, just in these chain's you really get what you pay for.
The ZVM just lasts longer then the VM, i pay'd the extra cash. sprockets don't seem to wear that fast until the chain starts to wear.
