The Vortex 196ZLV4-46 is a 46-tooth aluminum rear sprocket from Vortex Racing's VTX series, engineered for riders who demand precision, lightweight performance, and durability on the street or track. Vortex is a globally recognized leader in aftermarket sprocket technology, and the VTX aluminum series represents their commitment to race-proven quality.

Key Features:

• 46 Teeth — optimized gearing for aggressive acceleration or top-speed tuning depending on front sprocket pairing
• Lightweight Aluminum Construction — precision-machined 7075-T6 or 6061-T6 aluminum alloy reduces unsprung rotational weight for improved throttle response
• Hard Anodized Finish — corrosion-resistant anodized coating extends sprocket life and maintains appearance under demanding conditions
• CNC Machined — tight tolerances ensure smooth, quiet chain engagement and long service life
• VTX Series Design — features Vortex's signature lightening holes for maximum weight reduction without sacrificing structural integrity
• Direct OEM Replacement Fitment — bolt-on installation with no modifications required

Vortex rear sprockets are a popular upgrade for sport bike and motorcycle enthusiasts looking to fine-tune their gearing ratio. Pairing a 46-tooth rear sprocket with a smaller front sprocket increases acceleration, while pairing with a larger front sprocket improves top-end speed. Manufactured in the USA to strict quality standards, the Vortex VTX aluminum rear sprocket is a trusted choice for both competitive racers and performance street riders.
