Vortex Racing rear aluminum sprockets are the ultimate choice for racers. Their lightweight construction effectively diminishes rotating mass, amplifying power transfer to the pavement for unmatched performance. Innovatively engineered, the Vortex CAT5 Series Rear Sprockets undergo a meticulous process, first anodized in vibrant hues before being precision CNC machined from premium 7075 aluminum. This craftsmanship yields a visually striking sprocket adorned with captivating silver highlights. Renowned among Racing Champions, the CAT5 Vortex Aluminum Sprocket earns trust through its impeccable tight tolerances and distinctive tooth design, delivering unparalleled performance on the track. FEATURES Specially formulated alloy per Vortex specifications Lightweight aluminum construction 100% CNC-machined Weight-saving cutouts Durable anodized finish to prevent corrosion Unique tooth design increases sprocket longevity Trusted by DME RACING SPROCKET REQUIRES 530 CHAIN All our sprocket fitments assume you are using a 530 Chain and an aftermarket front and rear sprocket. 530 chain has a 15.88mm pitch and 9.53 width SPECIFICATIONS 5 Bolt (10mm holes) Bolt Circle: 100mm (Pitch Circle Diameter) Sprocket ID: 76mm Sprockets and Gear Ratios Hayabusa Gen1 Stock Ratios: 17/40 in a 530 pitch One (1) tooth up on the front sprocket is equal to three (3) in the rear. (For example 18/40 is equal to 19/43) Ratio Equation: (Rear Sprocket divided by Front Sprocket = RATIO) Higher ratio numbers = more acceleration and bottom-end power, but a lower top-end speed. Lower ratio numbers = higher top-end speed but with less bottom-end and acceleration. How to Determine Which Sprocket Sizes You Need Consider Individual Factors: Understand that the ideal sprocket combination varies depending on several factors unique to each motorcycle and rider. Variables such as rider size, wheelbase, rear tire specifications, and other aspects play crucial roles in determining the most suitable gearing setup. Seek Advice from Peers: It’s highly recommended to seek guidance from fellow racers who ride similar bikes. Consulting with experienced riders who have experimented with various sprocket combinations can provide valuable insights and recommendations tailored to your specific motorcycle model and racing style. Adapt to Modifications: Recognize that modifications made to your motorcycle, such as installing a longer swingarm or adding nitrous, can significantly impact its performance characteristics. As you enhance or alter your bike’s setup, you may need to adjust the gearing to optimize acceleration, top speed, and overall handling. Trial and Error: Embrace a trial-and-error approach when fine-tuning your motorcycle’s gearing. Experimenting with different sprocket combinations and seeking feedback from fellow racers can help you find the optimal setup that maximizes your bike’s potential on the track. Regular Evaluation: Keep in mind that gearing preferences may evolve over time as you gain experience and make further modifications to your bike. Continuously evaluate and reassess your gearing choices to ensure they align with your evolving racing goals and preferences.
