ERV3 is rated is weaker then many other chains and costs the most. the rk gxw and ek mvxz are much stronger since the erv3 is only rated at 750cc where the other two are rated at 1000cc.

Are you saying your bike is going to snap a ERV3???
Tensile strength doesn't equate to wear rate/performance... why not just go with a 16K lbs. Krause Titanium II then???

I dont think I said my bike was going to snap the erv3 did I???
It's the simple fact that rated at 750cc while the others are 1000cc makes erv3 the weakest.

Tensile strength differences between the three chains is not enough to make a difference on a 600, even one making 20hp more than stock (and good luck with that, average person)... nor is the 3 oz weight savings you will get with the ERV3. I love when people use only tensile strength as a primary metric for chain performance. Why is it that ERV3's seem to stretch less than corresponding EK/RK chains? Take the advice or not... frankly I could give a rat's ass...

EK or RK
It's an amazing chain, but like you said WAY more expensive.
