The Stihl 23RS 81 is a high-performance chainsaw chain designed for the most demanding cutting conditions. This chain is part of the Stihl Rapid Super series, known for its fast cutting capabilities and professional features. It is ideal for use in clean cutting conditions with limited contact with dirt and other abrasive materials.

The 23RS chain is engineered with Oilomatic drive link lubrication slots, which direct oil to the rivet, reducing wear and enhancing the chain's lifespan. Additionally, the chain is pre-stretched at the factory to minimize the need for adjustments during the break-in period. This chain is recommended for professional use due to its lack of significant kickback reduction features, requiring operators to have experience and specialized training.

Key Features

  • Fast Cutting Capability: The 23RS chain features chisel cutters that provide rapid cutting in clean conditions.
  • Oilomatic Lubrication: Lubrication slots funnel oil directly to the rivet, reducing wear and improving chain longevity.
  • Pre-Stretched: Pre-stretching at the factory eliminates the need for excess adjustments during the break-in period.
  • Lower Vibration: Designed to reduce vibration levels compared to older models, enhancing operator comfort.
  • Professional Use: Recommended for experienced professionals due to its performance and lack of kickback reduction features.
