Vortex 254-52 VTX Aluminum Rear Sprocket 52-Tooth

The Vortex 254-52 is a 52-tooth aluminum rear sprocket designed as a high-performance replacement for motorcycles. Vortex is a leading manufacturer of racing and street sprockets, known for precision CNC machining and lightweight construction that reduces unsprung rotational mass for improved throttle response and acceleration.

This sprocket is part of Vortex's VTX series, machined from high-strength aluminum alloy and hard anodized for durability and corrosion resistance. The result is a sprocket that is significantly lighter than stock steel units while maintaining excellent wear characteristics for both street and track use.

Key Features:

• 52-tooth rear sprocket configuration
• CNC-machined from high-strength aluminum alloy
• Hard anodized finish for corrosion resistance and extended wear life
• Lightweight construction reduces unsprung rotational mass
• Precision tooth profile for smooth, quiet chain engagement
• Direct OEM-style fitment — no modifications required
• Available in multiple colors to match your bike's aesthetics

Vortex sprockets are a popular upgrade for riders looking to fine-tune their gearing ratio. Moving to a larger rear sprocket like the 52-tooth increases low-end torque and acceleration at the expense of top speed, making it ideal for tight, technical riding or track use. The Vortex 254-52 delivers race-proven quality in a street-ready package.
