Vortex 196ZB-46 Black Aluminum Rear Sprocket 46-Tooth

The Vortex 196ZB-46 is a 46-tooth black anodized aluminum rear sprocket engineered for performance motorcycle applications. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement or gearing upgrade, this sprocket delivers the precision and durability that Vortex Racing is known for on both street and track.

Key Features:

• 46-tooth rear sprocket — ideal for improved low-end torque and acceleration tuning
• Black anodized aluminum construction — lightweight design reduces rotating mass for improved throttle response
• 100% CNC manufactured in the USA — machined to precise tolerances for concentric, true-running performance
• Specially formulated alloy per Vortex specifications — optimized strength-to-weight ratio
• Vortex patented tooth profile — unique tooth geometry extends sprocket longevity and promotes smooth chain engagement
• Corrosion-resistant anodized finish — black anodizing protects against wear and the elements

Upgrading to a larger rear sprocket like the 46-tooth 196ZB-46 decreases the final drive ratio, delivering quicker acceleration and stronger low-end pull compared to a stock sprocket. This sprocket is part of Vortex's trusted aluminum rear sprocket line and is a popular choice for sport bike riders seeking gearing customization without sacrificing quality.
