Product Details

The Vortex 253ZK-36 is a CAT5 aluminum rear sprocket featuring a 525 pitch and 36 teeth, designed for street and track riders who demand lightweight performance without sacrificing durability. Machined from aerospace-grade aluminum to Vortex's exacting specifications, this sprocket delivers a significant weight reduction over OEM steel units, helping reduce rotating mass and improve throttle response.

Key Features:

  • CAT5 aluminum construction — machined from lightweight aerospace-grade aluminum per Vortex specifications
  • 100% CNC manufactured in the USA for precise tolerances and concentric fitment
  • 525 pitch, 36-tooth rear sprocket configuration
  • Saber tooth groove design — Vortex patented tooth profile increases sprocket longevity and chain engagement
  • Color anodized finish available in red, blue, gold, or black (color availability varies by fitment) with contrasting silver machine cuts on sweeps, mud grooves, and teeth
  • Reduces rotating mass compared to OEM steel sprockets for improved acceleration feel

The Vortex CAT5 series combines race-proven engineering with eye-catching aesthetics, making it a popular upgrade for both track days and aggressive street riding. As with all Vortex sprockets, the 253ZK-36 features the brand's patented tooth design that sets it apart from competing aftermarket options.

Saia is a horrible freight company. I used to deal with them at my previous job as a shipper. Box had a little damage, paint is rubbed off in a couple areas and swivel wheel assembly was bent. I was able to get it straight. Hopefully it will roll ok once it has weight on it. Not something I would expect for a $1500 item. I had to call Saia several times because I was getting a runaround on the delivery, they kept telling me they would schedule a delivery time. Never did, it showed up at my house unexpected, luckily my wife was still home. Seems like a good product though

Great!
