Vortex 826ZBV4-44 V4 Aluminum Rear Sprocket Black 44-Tooth

The Vortex 826ZBV4-44 is a 44-tooth aluminum rear sprocket built on Vortex Racing's all-new V4 platform — the next generation of their iconic CAT5 sprocket design. Debuted at the 2026 AIMExpo, the V4 line delivers a 10–15% reduction in weight over its predecessor without sacrificing structural integrity, thanks to a redesigned lightening pattern with machined faces on both sides. Finished in a striking black anodized coating, this sprocket is 100% CNC manufactured in the USA to the tightest tolerances in the industry.

Key Features:

• V4 Design: New-generation sprocket profile with optimized material removal for a 10–15% weight savings over the previous CAT5 design
• 100% CNC Machined: Manufactured in the USA using a specially formulated aerospace-grade aluminum alloy per Vortex specifications
• Black Anodized Finish: Applied before cutting for a distinctive two-tone machined look; helps resist corrosion and oxidation
• Unique Tooth Profile: Vortex patented tooth design engineered to extend sprocket longevity and improve chain engagement
• 44-Tooth Rear Sprocket: Ideal for fine-tuning gear ratios to optimize acceleration, deceleration, and overall drivetrain response
• Reduced Rotating Mass: Lightweight aluminum construction lowers unsprung rotational weight for improved throttle response and handling

Vortex Racing components are trusted by professional road racing, motocross, supercross, flat track, and high-performance street riders worldwide. The 826ZBV4-44 is engineered for riders who demand race-proven quality with every shift. For maximum sprocket and chain life, clean and inspect the chain every 300–600 miles on street bikes.
