Vortex 248AZR-44 CAT5 Aluminum Rear Sprocket 44T 520 Pitch Anodized

The Vortex 248AZR-44 is a 44-tooth CAT5 aluminum rear sprocket in the 520 pitch, designed for street and racing motorcycle applications. Manufactured in the USA from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy per Vortex's proprietary specifications, this sprocket delivers an ideal balance of lightweight performance and durability for riders looking to optimize their drivetrain.

Key Features:

• 44-Tooth / 520 Pitch: Engineered to allow precise gear ratio tuning for improved acceleration and throttle response
• Aerospace-Grade Aluminum: Lightweight construction reduces rotational mass for enhanced performance versus steel alternatives
• Anodized Finish: Color-coded anodized coating applied before cutting, resulting in Vortex's iconic two-tone machined appearance while protecting against oxidation
• CAT5 Patented Tooth Design: Vortex's industry-standard sprocket profile increases tooth longevity and promotes smooth chain engagement
• 100% CNC Manufactured: Machined to tight tolerances in the USA for consistent concentricity and reliable power transfer
• Reduced Rotational Mass: Lightening cuts where applicable minimize unsprung and rotating weight for a more responsive feel

Vortex Racing has been producing race-proven drivetrain components for over 15 years, trusted by professional teams across Motocross, Supercross, Road Racing, and Flat Track disciplines. Note: Aluminum sprockets require chain cleaning and tension checks every 300–400 miles to achieve optimal performance and service life.
