Alright, so you ride a Duke 200—which means you’re probably that “I don’t do stock, I do speed” kind of rider. Sharp throttle, sharp turns, sharp looks. But eventually (and usually sooner than we’d like), the chain sprocket kit gives you the “change me or I’ll snap mid-wheelie” warning.

Now comes the big question—what’s the deal with the Duke 200 brass chain sprocket kit? And more importantly, what’s the price looking like?

So, why brass?

Look, most people go with steel. It’s decent. It gets the job done. But brass? That’s next-level durability with a nice side of street cred. It’s not just about bling (though yeah, it does look cooler)—brass offers better wear resistance. Meaning: fewer annoying rattles, longer lifespan, and smoother power delivery.

Basically, less maintenance. More riding. No more mid-ride chain slap sounds making your bike feel like a tiffin box on wheels.

What about the price though?

Currently, RKD’s got the brass sprocket kit for the Duke 200 / RC 200 priced pretty reasonably considering it’s a premium-grade upgrade. It’s not dirt cheap, but it’s also not one of those overpriced "racing spec" gimmicks either.

For what you’re getting—solid build, better life, and way more reliable than your stock setup—the price makes sense. Most riders end up replacing chain kits every 15-20k km, but brass kits stretch that out, so it kinda balances out long-term costs.

Online chatter?

You’ll find riders on YouTube and Insta saying things like:

“Brass kit lasted me 22,000 km and still going strong.”
“Throttle feels cleaner after switching—less chain slack.”
“Best upgrade I did under ₹3K, hands down.”

Also saw one dude say his mechanic was surprised the sprocket still looked fresh after a Ladakh ride. That's saying something.

Personal take?

I swapped to brass on my RC a year back. Honestly? Night and day difference. It’s like your chain finally respects the engine’s power. Fewer chain adjustments, less stress on the rear wheel, and acceleration feels tight—no lag, no clunkiness.

Plus, it doesn't rust up like regular steel ones when the monsoons hit. That alone? Worth the upgrade.
