Vortex 196AZRV4-41 V4 Aluminum Rear Sprocket 41T

The Vortex 196AZRV4-41 is a 41-tooth aluminum rear sprocket built on Vortex's next-generation V4 design. Engineered for performance-focused riders, this sprocket delivers serious weight savings while maintaining the tight tolerances and structural integrity Vortex Racing is known for.

Key Features:

• V4 Design: Vortex's newest sprocket pattern, featuring machined faces on both sides and an optimized cutout pattern for a 10–15% weight reduction compared to the classic CAT5 design — without sacrificing strength
• Anodized Aluminum Construction: Machined from a specially formulated aerospace-grade aluminum alloy per Vortex specifications for an ideal balance of light weight and durability
• 100% CNC Manufactured in the USA: Precision-machined to the tightest tolerances for consistent fit and reliable performance
• 41 Teeth: Available tooth count for fine-tuning gearing ratios to suit your riding style and application
• Anodized Finish: Color-anodized before CNC machining to produce the iconic two-tone machined look with contrasting silver highlights
• Vortex Patented Tooth Design: Engineered for increased sprocket longevity and smooth chain engagement

As with all Vortex aluminum sprockets, proper chain maintenance is essential. Chain cleaning and tension should be checked every 300–400 miles to maximize the life of the sprocket. Ideal for road racing, track days, and performance street riding where weight reduction is a priority.
