Vortex 435CZR-44 CAT5 Red 44-Tooth 525-Pitch Aluminum Rear Sprocket

The Vortex 435CZR-44 is a lightweight CAT5 aluminum racing rear sprocket featuring a bold red anodized finish with contrasting silver machine cuts. Designed for performance-oriented street and track riders, this 44-tooth, 525-pitch sprocket is precision-engineered to deliver reliable power transfer and extended service life.

The sprocket is manufactured entirely in the USA to the tightest CNC tolerances using a specially formulated aluminum alloy developed to Vortex's own specifications.
