Vortex 196ZGV4-44 VTX Aluminum Rear Sprocket 44T

The Vortex 196ZGV4-44 is a high-performance 44-tooth aluminum rear sprocket from Vortex Racing's VTX series. Engineered for sport and performance motorcycle applications, this sprocket features a lightweight aluminum construction that reduces unsprung rotational mass for improved throttle response and acceleration.

Vortex Racing sprockets are precision CNC-machined in the USA to exacting tolerances, ensuring smooth, consistent chain engagement and long service life. The VTX series uses a two-piece design with a hard-anodized aluminum sprocket ring bonded to a steel carrier hub, combining the weight savings of aluminum with the durability of steel at the mounting surface.

Key Features:

• 44-tooth rear sprocket for tuning final drive ratio
• Lightweight hard-anodized aluminum construction reduces rotational mass
• CNC-machined for precise fit and consistent chain engagement
• Two-piece VTX design: aluminum sprocket ring with steel carrier hub
• Compatible with standard motorcycle drive chain
• Precision-drilled bolt holes for secure, rattle-free mounting
• Manufactured by Vortex Racing in the USA

Upgrading to a 44-tooth rear sprocket provides a shorter final drive ratio compared to stock, improving low-end torque and acceleration out of corners — ideal for tight tracks or aggressive street riding. The Vortex VTX series is a trusted choice among club racers and performance riders seeking a quality, race-proven sprocket solution.
