When you slip a Stihl RAPID™ Super RS chain onto your 16" bar, you're turning your saw into a cutting machine. This full-chisel, square-corner tooth design rips through hardwood, frozen logs, and thick limbs with barely any drag. It cuts hard wood smooth, not torn, because the razor-edged shape keeps friction down and wood chip load light.
The .325" pitch and .063" gauge deliver a balance of strength and speed. It pairs with Stihl’s OILOMATIC® lubrication system to push oil exactly where it’s needed, reducing wear and keeping the chain slick even under heat and grime. The cutter and tie strap layout is engineered to tame vibration — your arms don’t fatigue as fast, and you get steadier control under load. Because it’s pre-stretched, you’ll do less tighten-up work out in the field. This RAPID Super RS model is built for pros who demand speed, precision, and durability. Use it for felling, bucking, limbing — the kind of work where you can’t afford a chain that slows you down. But know this: to get the full benefit, you’ve got to keep it sharp and maintain correct tension. If you do, it rewards you with aggressive, confident cutting.
