STIHL 26RS 81 Rapid Super Chain
The STIHL 26RS 81 is part of STIHL's Rapid Super chain family.
Rapid Super uses a full-chisel cutter profile designed for fast, aggressive cutting in clean wood. It is well suited to experienced users who want high cutting speed and strong performance from compatible STIHL saws.
The 81 identifies the 81-drive-link configuration of this specific chain loop.
For correct fitment, your saw and guide bar must match all of the required chain specifications.
Verify Fitment Before Ordering
Before purchasing, check the specifications stamped on your guide bar or current chain.
This chain requires:
- Bar Length: 20"
- Pitch: .325"
- Gauge: .063"
- Drive Links: 81
All four specifications must match your actual saw and guide-bar setup.
A chainsaw model may be available with more than one bar and chain configuration, so model number alone does not guarantee fitment.
If you're unsure, contact P&P Small Engines before ordering and we'll help verify the correct chain.
