Vortex 715ZB-48 CAT5 Black Aluminum Rear Sprocket 520 Pitch 48-Tooth

The Vortex 715ZB-48 is a CAT5 black anodized aluminum rear sprocket featuring a 520 pitch and 48 teeth. Engineered for serious street and track riders, this sprocket is 100% CNC machined in the USA from a specially formulated aluminum alloy to Vortex's exacting tolerances, delivering an ideal combination of light weight and long-lasting durability.

Key Features:

• Lightweight CAT5 aluminum construction — reduces rotating mass for improved throttle response and acceleration
• 100% CNC manufactured in the USA — machined to tight tolerances for precise chain engagement
• Anodized black finish with machined silver highlights — anodized first, then CNC machined, revealing contrasting silver accents on the teeth and grooves
• Vortex patented unique tooth design — saber tooth grooves and proprietary profile increase sprocket longevity
• 520 pitch — compatible with standard 520 drive chains
• 48 teeth — rear position; higher tooth count tunes gearing for improved low-end torque and acceleration
• Trusted by professional race teams worldwide

Upgrading to a Vortex rear sprocket is one of the most effective ways to fine-tune your motorcycle's gearing. A higher tooth count on the rear sprocket (relative to stock) shortens the overall gear ratio, delivering stronger low-end pull and quicker acceleration. The 715ZB-48 is an excellent choice for riders seeking an aggressive, track-ready setup without sacrificing street rideability.
