Stihl 20" Light 06 Centennial Edition Guide Bar - 3/8", .063", 72 Drive Links - 100 Year Anniversary

The Genuine OEM STIHL Light 06 Centennial Edition Guide Bar is a limited-edition 20" bar with a special anniversary design, offered for a short time only to mark STIHL's 100th anniversary. It suits professionals doing intensive, day-long felling and bucking: its lightweight build weighs significantly less than a conventional solid-steel guide bar, which improves overall balance, reduces operator fatigue and extends cutting stamina. It runs a 3/8" pitch, .063" gauge, 72 drive link (72DL) chain and fits saws such as the MS 261, MS 271 and MS 291.

The Light 06 Centennial Edition is built for efficient, professional-grade timber harvesting. Its slim profile greatly improves bore cutting and makes the powerhead easier to maneuver, so it is well suited to precise, agile work such as technical felling, block-downs and commercial tree maintenance. Designed to pair with powerful professional saws including the MS 362, MS 400, MS462, MS 500i, and MS 661, this bar delivers very fast plunge speeds with excellent control, helping tree care crews work through dense wood efficiently and safely. Offered only while supplies last, it is both a practical upgrade and a collector's piece for any committed tree service professional.

Why Light 06 Performs: A lightweight internal alloy core wrapped in high-grade structural steel gives this bar a significant weight reduction. The lower weight works with the saw's physical "swing weight," so your professional powerhead feels more agile, nimble and balanced during quick limbing, boring and felling.

Setup & Fitment Details: Optimized exclusively for professional-grade STIHL chainsaws using a 3/8" pitch drive sprocket. Needs a 3/8" pitch, .063" gauge chain loop with exactly 72 drive links (72DL). Provides a perfect factory fit on large-chassis professional powerheads, including the MS 362, MS 400 C-M, MS 462 C-M, MS 500i, and MS 661 C-M.

Key Features

• Exclusive Centennial Anniversary Design: Features a bold, limited-edition 100-year commemorative color scheme and logo honoring a century of STIHL's leadership in forestry.
