Description
Not every rider needs the tallest gearing their Honda can run, and a lot of tight, technical, or motocross-focused setups actually work better dropped down to a 13-tooth front sprocket. ProTaper built this one from case-hardened chromoly steel with a core-refined process that keeps the material tough all the way through, not just on the surface, which is the difference between a sprocket that lasts a season and one that rounds off after a handful of rides.
Specs worth knowing before you buy:
- Core-refined, case-hardened chromoly steel for durability under repeated chain load
- CNC machined and internally broached to precise countershaft tolerances
- Computer-engineered tooth geometry for reduced drag and efficient power transfer
- Proprietary coating adds an extra layer of wear and corrosion resistance
- 13-tooth count for quicker spin-up and stronger low-end acceleration
Because Honda front sprocket fitment varies by model and year, verify the part number against your specific bike rather than relying on tooth count alone to confirm a match. Riders coming off a worn stock sprocket often notice smoother chain engagement immediately, simply because this one is machined to tighter tolerances than a cast OEM replacement. IPD Racing stocks this sprocket alongside the rest of the ProTaper RS range so you have options if 13 teeth is not the final number you land on.
