Description
The 13-tooth front sprocket sits at the low end of the CRF250R gearing range, which is exactly where a lot of tight-track and technical riders want to be for stronger acceleration out of corners at the cost of a slightly lower top speed. ProTaper’s Race Spec front sprocket for the 2018-2022 CRF250R is CNC machined and internally broached from case-hardened, core-refined chromoly steel, which is a step up from the mild steel found in a lot of aftermarket sprockets in this price range.
Engineering behind the RS sprocket:
- CNC machined and internally broached to tight tolerances for a precise, slop-free fit on the countershaft
- Case-hardened, core-refined chromoly steel for strength without excess weight
- Computer-modeled tooth geometry reduces chain drag and improves power transfer to the rear wheel
- Proprietary coating cuts down on wear and corrosion compared to bare steel sprockets
- 13-tooth count for stronger low-end acceleration, ideal for tight or technical tracks
This sprocket is built specifically for the 2018-2022 Honda CRF250R front countershaft, so confirm your model year falls in that window before ordering, and remember that dropping to a 13-tooth front from a stock configuration will shorten your gearing noticeably. IPD Racing stocks the full ProTaper RS sprocket range in multiple tooth counts, so if 13 ends up too aggressive for your track you can size up without hunting down a different supplier.
