Description
There is a reason ProTaper’s Race Spec sprockets show up in privateer pit boxes across the country, and this 53-tooth version for KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas bikes in Red is a good example of why.
This falls under ProTaper’s Race Spec (RS) rear sprocket category, aimed at riders who put in enough hours to notice the difference in wear rate. The Angled Mud Groove does its job passively as the wheel turns, clearing mud and grit so the chain never has to fight through a caked sprocket. The result of the CNC-machined tooth design is up to 40 percent more contact area than competing sprockets, which is where the extended service life comes from.
Features and Benefits
- Bolt holes are countersunk to self-align on the hub, which saves a step and a tool during installation
- Mud and grit are flung clear by the angled groove pattern instead of building up between chain and tooth
- Wider CNC-cut contact face spreads chain load across up to 40 percent more surface than a stamped competitor part
- Cut to 53 teeth for KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas rear hubs, finished in Red, 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.
This finish matches ProTaper’s other Race Spec components if you are building out a full drivetrain refresh on your KTM/Husqvarna/GasGas bike. Part number 033506.
