Description
ProTaper did not just resize an existing sprocket to make this 52 tooth option, the Angled Mud Groove geometry is purpose designed to keep the drivetrain clean under load. That combination of self-clearing grooves and CNC-held tolerances is what separates a Race Spec sprocket from a generic aftermarket stamping, and it shows up first in how long the teeth hold their shape under load.
Chain stretch happens faster on a sprocket that is already fighting mud buildup, so keeping the teeth clear during a moto has a real effect on how long the whole final drive lasts.
- Reduced mud packing lowers drivetrain drag, which keeps more engine power at the rear wheel
- Race Spec construction is built to handle sustained race-pace loads, not just casual trail riding
- 52 tooth count in black finish, sized for Suzuki rear hub applications
- Angled Mud Groove design sheds packed mud and debris automatically during operation
- Increases usable tooth surface area by up to 40 percent over competing sprockets
- CNC machined for tight tolerances and consistent tooth geometry across the whole run
- Countersunk mounting holes self-center the sprocket on the hub, no separate center guide needed
Whether this is a straight replacement or a deliberate gearing change, it is engineered for Suzuki motocross and off-road models using this rear hub bolt pattern and installs with standard tools. IPD Racing lists it under part number 033209.
