Description
A lighter, better-machined sprocket does more for lap times than most riders expect, and this 49-tooth ProTaper rear for Honda and Yamaha bikes in Black is proof of that in a bolt-on part.
ProTaper builds this as part of its Race Spec (RS) rear sprocket family, developed to hold up under sustained racing loads rather than casual trail use alone. The Angled Mud Groove pattern machined into the teeth flings mud and grit clear during rotation, keeping the drive chain from riding on caked-up debris. CNC-cut tooth geometry boosts contact area with the chain by up to 40 percent versus rival sprockets, which translates directly into slower wear.
Features and Benefits
- Countersink design pulls the sprocket true to the hub as bolts are torqued down, skipping the extra centering tool
- Debris gets thrown off before it can pack into the tooth valleys, a direct result of the Angled Mud Groove cut
- The tooth geometry is CNC machined for a contact patch up to 40 percent larger than a typical aftermarket sprocket
- Cut to 49 teeth for Honda and Yamaha rear hubs, finished in Black, part of ProTaper’s Race Spec lineup
