Suggested match: Oregon 95-series (95VPX) / 21–22 LPX. Confirm the drive-link count for your exact bar length before ordering. These are equivalent aftermarket (Oregon) chains, not genuine STIHL chain — STIHL sells its own chain through its dealer network, and we're not affiliated with STIHL. New to pitch & cutter types?
