Vortex 490ZB-53 Steel Rear Sprocket 53-Tooth

The Vortex 490ZB-53 is a 53-tooth steel rear sprocket designed for high-performance motorcycle applications. Built to Vortex Racing's exacting standards, this sprocket is manufactured from high-carbon steel and features a precision nickel plating finish to resist corrosion and extend service life.

Key Features:

• 53-Tooth Steel Construction — High-carbon steel for maximum tensile strength and durability under race and street conditions
• Induction Hardened — Surface hardening process reduces wear and maintains tight tolerances over thousands of miles
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish — Nickel plating protects against rust and environmental wear
• Precision Manufactured — CNC machined to tight tolerances ensuring proper chain engagement and concentricity
• Performance Gearing — A higher tooth count rear sprocket increases low-end torque and acceleration response at the cost of top-end speed

Vortex steel rear sprockets are a trusted choice for riders seeking a durable, performance-oriented replacement or upgrade over OEM gearing. Verify chain pitch compatibility before ordering to ensure a proper fitment.
