Genuine STIHL 18" Chainsaw Chain 26 RS 68 - .325" Pitch, .063" Gauge, 68 Drive Links (OEM)

Overview: The genuine STIHL 26 RS (Rapid Super) 68 is a high-performance, full-chisel chainsaw chain built for commercial users, arborists, and heavy-duty firewood cutters. Engineered for mid- to high-powered chainsaws, this aggressive chain provides razor-sharp, ultra-fast plunge cutting and cross-cutting. It excels in clean wood conditions, offering smooth cutting behavior with remarkably low chatter and vibration.

Key Features:

Full-Chisel Performance: The razor-edged, square-cornered cutters slice through timber significantly faster than semi-chisel chains, maximizing your cutting efficiency in hardwood and frozen timber.

STIHL OILOMATIC® Technology: Specially designed lubrication channels funnel guide bar oil directly to the chain rivets. This reduces wear, minimizes friction, and extends the life of both your bar and chain.

Low Vibration Design: The optimized cutter and tie-strap construction significantly absorbs vibration, reducing hand and arm fatigue during long, demanding workdays.

Factory Pre-Stretched: Manufactured with Swiss precision and pre-stretched at the factory to eliminate excess sagging and minimize the need for adjustments during the break-in period.
