When you slap this Stihl 20" RAPID™ Super (RS) chain on your saw, you’re getting teeth that bite hard and fast. The full-chisel cutters have square corners that shred wood clean—especially good in hardwoods or frozen material. Because the cutters are razor-edged and the tooth design keeps friction low, your saw feels lighter, cuts smoother, and wastes less power. Stihl builds this chain with a smart cutter + tie strap layout that cuts down vibration. That means less shake in your arms over a long day. The chain also carries Stihl’s Oilomatic® design so oil reaches the rivets and rails—lubrication is consistent and wear is delayed.
This is not a beginner’s chain. It’s built for serious cutting: felling, bucking, limbing, heavy wood. To keep it performing sharp, you’ll need to maintain proper angles and sharpen regularly. But when it’s sharp, it charges through timber fast. It’s intended for saws with enough power to handle high cutting aggression. If your focus is max performance, clean cuts, fast feed, this chain pulls its weight. Just keep it tuned and don’t push it into abuse.
