Vortex 435CZOV4-48 Aluminum Rear Sprocket Pitch Orange Sprockets - CAT5 520 48-Tooth

The Vortex 435CZOV4-48 is a CAT5 color-anodized aluminum rear sprocket featuring a 520 pitch chain compatibility and 48 teeth, finished in Vortex's eye-catching Orange (OV4) anodized color. Designed as a high-performance, lightweight alternative to heavy OEM steel sprockets, this rear sprocket is engineered for sport and performance motorcycle applications.

Key Features:

• 100% CNC machined in the USA from specially formulated, high-grade aluminum alloy per Vortex specifications
• CAT5 color anodized finish — vivid Orange (OV4) anodizing applied to the body, excluding teeth, sweeps, and mud grooves for a bold two-tone look
• 520 pitch rear sprocket with 48 teeth for tunable final drive gearing
• Vortex patented tooth design reduces drag and friction, improving both acceleration and deceleration feel
• Lightening holes throughout the sprocket body reduce rotating mass for improved throttle response
• Perfectly concentric construction — precision machining ensures true concentricity, freeing horsepower and extending chain and sprocket life
• Mud grooves channel debris away from the drivetrain to keep components cleaner
• Available in single-tooth increments to fine-tune gearing for specific riding conditions

Reducing rotating mass at the rear wheel has a compounding effect on overall performance — less rotational weight directly translates to sharper acceleration and improved handling. The Vortex 435CZOV4-48 delivers that performance advantage while adding a distinctive, race-inspired appearance with its vibrant orange anodized finish.
