Description
This 48 tooth black rear sprocket sits at the top of ProTaper’s lower tooth-count range, built for KTM and Husqvarna riders who want a taller gear without stepping all the way down to a smaller platform sprocket, and it keeps the Angled Mud Groove design that defines the Race Spec line.
Why the Angled Mud Groove design earns its keep:
- Self-cleaning groove sheds packed mud during operation instead of letting it build up between teeth
- Precise CNC machining increases usable tooth surface area by up to 40 percent versus competing designs
- Larger contact area with the chain slows wear and extends sprocket life
- Countersinks automatically center the sprocket to the hub on installation, no separate center guide required
- Finished in black to match common KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas color schemes
A 48 tooth rear is a common choice for riders running larger front sprockets or looking for extra top speed on faster tracks. This is ProTaper part number 033291, a 48 tooth rear sprocket sized for full-size KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas machines, backed by the manufacturer and stocked at IPD Racing for fast shipment. Confirm your exact model against the fitment chart or contact us if you are unsure which tooth count matches your current gearing.
