Vortex 255-49 Silver 49-Tooth 525 Aluminum Rear Sprocket

The Vortex 255-49 is a 49-tooth aluminum rear sprocket designed for motorcycles running a 525 pitch drive chain. Finished in silver, this sprocket is engineered to deliver reliable performance for both street and track riding applications.

Vortex sprockets are manufactured from a specially formulated aluminum alloy developed to Vortex's own specifications, resulting in an ideal balance of light weight and durability. The patented tooth profile geometry reduces chain wear and extends the service life of both the sprocket and chain.

Key Features:

• 49-tooth rear sprocket for 525 pitch chain
• Lightweight aluminum construction — reduces unsprung weight
• Specially formulated alloy per Vortex specifications
• Patented unique tooth design increases sprocket longevity
• Silver anodized finish for corrosion resistance
• Precision CNC machined for consistent fit and balance

The Vortex 255 series is a trusted choice among performance street riders and club racers seeking a direct OEM-style replacement with improved material quality. The 49-tooth count offers a slightly taller gearing option compared to stock on many applications, making it well-suited for riders looking to optimize top-speed or highway cruising performance.
