Definitely looks like it will cut a narrower kerf vs RS. Curious if it will be available in 3/8 as well or just .325

Nice.

Does it require a narrower bar?

I'll ask about it.

Well I'll be!!
Stihl finally followed Oregon's lead and made a narrow kerf .325 chain. And to out do the 95VPX they made it a chisel also.

Had Deets run numbers a couple of weeks back came up invalid.

Bout time Stihl fed us something new from the chain dept. For quite a while since PS came out all it seems they've done is appease the safety police. Plenty of added safety features for the homeowner & nothing for the pro user. I want to see high tooth chisel in .325-.404, but this'll do for the moment.

Wasn't most .325 Stihl in the past 35degree?

 

[RI Chevy]

I have several Stihl .325 RS chains. I don't think any of them are 35 degree.

 

[Willard]

The RM semi chisel was 35° top plate, RS 30°.
Didn't look to see if it still is.

Probably a European # or something.
Or not in the North American system yet.

Now that would be nice.

Some low profile .325 would be nice, 1/4" is darn expensive, fidley to deal with and not the best value considering how small the cutter lengths are. I like the Picco cutter, but its spaced to far apart for small bars 10-14". Low profile .325 would improve inherent downsides to Picco. I heard a while back maybe Oregon or Carlton were considering it. One problem chain co's have these days is all the Chinese chain everywhere at a fraction of the cost. It must be hurting their budgets.

Why do you say that?

Glad they didn’t put those silly safety bumper links like they do on other brands .325 chain.
