Description
A worn-out front sprocket does more than just look rough, it accelerates wear on your chain and rear sprocket too, so replacing it with something built to last is cheaper in the long run than repeatedly buying budget parts. ProTaper’s Race Spec 13-tooth front sprocket for Honda applications uses case-hardened chromoly steel and a core-refined process to keep the whole part strong, not just the outer surface, which matters once you factor in the repeated stress a front sprocket takes every single time the chain cycles around it.
The engineering that separates this from a basic replacement:
- Chromoly steel, case-hardened and core-refined for all-around strength
- CNC machined and internally broached for tight, accurate countershaft fitment
- Computer-designed tooth profile cuts chain drag and improves drivetrain efficiency
- Proprietary coating fights corrosion and surface wear over time
- 13-tooth gearing favors acceleration over top speed, suited to tight tracks and trails
Match this part number to your Honda’s specific model and year before ordering, since sprocket bolt patterns are not interchangeable across the lineup even when tooth counts look identical. A properly fitted sprocket like this one should also help extend the life of a new chain, since the precise tooth geometry puts less side load on each link. IPD Racing keeps this sprocket in stock and ships it fast, which matters when a worn-out sprocket is holding up race day.
