Sold the quad in spring with them on there, so I can't really tell you anything more than that. I guess the chain is questionable, seemed to stretch a little more than I cared for. As far as steel sprockets go, it doesn't matter who makes them as long as their the same steel. The only difference is weight and price. As Billy said, some don't have very many cutouts and that makes them heavier. Are you going to feel a difference because of the added rotating mass that is centralized so close to your axle? NO, unless your a cyborg or something!
    Yea, I'm not real concerned if it's a bit heavier, durability is on the top of my list and the tensile strentgh of chain is ballpark with anything else that is out there, except for EK chains that I usually buy, but those chains are easily 90 + $$ a piece but have the thickest side plates I ever saw and are up in the 9000 area for strength.

    Seems like a good deal to me Huffa.. But I guess I did buy a Regina z-Ring last year for my yfz that was $105. I get a pretty good discount at the dealer though, think I paid around $80.
    Rocky Mountain probably order TONS of them at a time to be able to sell them that cheap. Looks like a good deal to me, but if you end up buying your sprockets/chain seperate, Ive had good luck with Sunstar.
