Description
Swapping to a taller or shorter rear sprocket is one of the fastest ways to dial in gearing on a Honda bike, and this 49-tooth ProTaper in Black gives you a genuine upgrade instead of a stock-equivalent replacement.
This is ProTaper’s Race Spec (RS) rear sprocket line, the same design philosophy that shows up across their pro-level drivetrain parts. Angled Mud Groove geometry cut into each tooth face sheds packed mud and debris as the wheel spins, so grip stays consistent instead of degrading lap after lap. Precision CNC machining and the unique tooth layout add up to as much as 40 percent more tooth surface area than competing sprockets, spreading chain load over more material.
Features and Benefits
- Countersunk bolt holes self-center the sprocket to the hub on install, no separate hub center guide needed
- Each tooth clears itself of mud on the fly thanks to the Angled Mud Groove, protecting chain and sprocket life
- Tight CNC tolerances give this sprocket up to 40 percent more usable tooth surface than competing designs
- Cut to 49 teeth for Honda rear hubs, finished in Black, part of ProTaper’s Race Spec lineup
Why buy ProTaper from IPD Racing?
IPD Racing has been building and racing performance machines since 2005, and we only stock parts we would run on our own bikes. ProTaper sprockets are a mainstay in our shop for exactly this reason, and every order ships from a stocking warehouse so you are not waiting on a dropship supplier.
Order by exact tooth count, 49 teeth here, since even a one-tooth difference noticeably changes how a Honda bike accelerates out of turns. Part number 033233.
