Description
Overview:
This Genuine Stihl RS (Rapid Super) saw chain is a high‐performance full‐chisel chain loop for professional cutting. Built from heat‐treated steel for strength and edge retention, it delivers fast, smooth cutting with controlled vibration. The loop measures 21 inches (53 cm) with 68 drive links (DL), and matches a .404 inch pitch (10.26 mm) and .063 inch (1.6 mm) gauge guide bar. It is intended for Stihl chainsaws and applications where speed and efficiency matter, including heavy‐duty tasks. Suitable for machines that specify .404 inch / 1.6 mm chains, such as the Stihl model 999 where fitted with the correct bar and sprocket. Check your guide bar and sprocket markings to ensure the pitch, gauge and drive link count match before purchase.
