Vortex 526AZBV4-44 CAT5 V4 Aluminum Rear Sprocket 520 Pitch 44T Blue

The Vortex 526AZBV4-44 is a CAT5 V4 aluminum rear sprocket featuring Vortex's latest next-generation V4 design in a 520 pitch, 44-tooth configuration with a blue anodized finish. Building on the iconic CAT5 platform that has been the industry standard since 1995, the V4 design delivers a 10–15% reduction in weight over the original CAT5 without sacrificing structural integrity, thanks to an optimized lightening pattern and machined faces on both sides.

• 100% CNC machined in the USA from specially formulated 7075 aluminum alloy per Vortex specifications

• 520 pitch, 44 teeth — compatible with 520-size chains and OEM or converted drivetrains
