Oregon doesn't make just low kickback:

Maybe that is what your dealer is carrying but that shouldn't be what is available.

Windsor also makes some saw chain without bumpers

Carlton still makes some in the US, and they make a semi-chisel with no bumpers. Woodland pro chain is Carlton, so that's something to keep an eye out for.
