Description
Sand, hardpack, or deep mud, a rear sprocket has to shed debris as fast as it takes load, and this 53-tooth ProTaper for KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas machines in Orange is engineered around that exact problem.
It carries ProTaper’s Race Spec (RS) designation, meaning the tooth geometry was developed with racing wear rates in mind, not just a stock replacement spec. That Angled Mud Groove profile is there to eject mud before it can wedge between chain and tooth, which is where most sprockets quietly lose horsepower. Up to 40 percent additional tooth surface area comes from the CNC-machined groove pattern, giving the chain a larger, more stable contact zone.
Features and Benefits
- Self-centering countersunk mounting holes line the sprocket up on the hub automatically during a wheel-off install
- Self-cleaning Angled Mud Groove tooth design clears debris as the wheel turns, keeping chain contact consistent in mud and sand
- CNC-machined tooth profile adds up to 40 percent more chain contact area than competing sprockets, slowing wear
- Cut to 53 teeth for KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas rear hubs, finished in Orange, part of ProTaper’s Race Spec lineup
