Vortex 435CZR-46 CAT5 Aluminum Rear Sprocket 525-Pitch 46-Tooth Red

The Vortex 435CZR-46 is a 46-tooth, 525-pitch rear sprocket machined from lightweight CAT5 aluminum — a specially formulated alloy developed to Vortex's own exacting specifications. Designed for sport and performance motorcycle applications, this sprocket delivers the strength and precision demanded by track and street riders alike.

The red anodized finish covers the body of the sprocket while contrasting silver machine cuts on the sweeps and mud grooves give it a distinctive two-tone appearance. The color anodizing is applied selectively, excluding the teeth and functional wear surfaces, ensuring durability is never compromised for aesthetics.

Key Features:

• CAT5 aluminum construction — lightweight, high-strength alloy formulated to Vortex specifications reduces rotating mass for improved acceleration response
• 100% CNC manufactured in the USA — precision machining ensures tight tolerances and perfect concentricity for smooth, vibration-free operation
• Vortex patented saber tooth groove design — unique tooth profile promotes cleaner chain engagement and release, extending the service life of both sprocket and chain
• 525 chain pitch — compatible with standard 525-pitch drive chains
• 46 teeth, rear position — taller gearing option suited for high-revving sport motorcycles
• Red anodized finish with contrasting silver machine cuts — bold two-tone appearance; available in multiple colors (color availability varies by application)

Vortex Racing sprockets are a trusted upgrade over heavy OEM steel sprockets, reducing unsprung rotating weight and freeing up horsepower without sacrificing reliability. The 435CZR-46 is an ideal choice for riders seeking a performance-oriented sprocket with a premium appearance.
