Why is that? Is it for lighter weight?

i dont have a clue but basically all race bikes will be running a 520 pitch from 400 upwards 125 and i think maby 250 are a bit smaller again.

I had that same Renthal and Tsubaki set on mine, very good, they gave me steel sprocket miles from aluminium. Excellent kit.

520 is ever so slightly lighter. But also, easier to find at a racetrack if you suddenly need a new chain, because it's the racing standard. If you talk to older racers that's generally why they use them, if you talk to newer ones they usually say they can totally feel the weight saving, which is about 100 grams IIRC. Or 1/10 of bugger all, to put it differently But if you do want 520, there's a couple of Renthals on ebay just now.
