Description
Getting more chain contact out of a sprocket without adding bulk or weight is a tricky balance, and it is the specific problem ProTaper set out to solve with this Race Spec design. Riders running mixed terrain, hardpack one weekend and a mud bog the next, notice the difference most, since the 48 tooth Race Spec sprocket keeps clearing itself instead of loading up with clay.
Because the groove pattern is cut into the sprocket itself rather than bolted on as a separate piece, there is nothing extra to work loose or wear out over a season of racing.
- Precision-cut teeth maintain consistent engagement even as mud and grit build up mid-race
- Reduced mud packing lowers drivetrain drag, which keeps more engine power at the rear wheel
- 48 tooth count in blue finish, sized for Suzuki/Yamaha rear hub applications
- Race Spec construction is built to handle sustained race-pace loads, not just casual trail riding
- 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
Built for Suzuki and Yamaha motocross and off-road models sharing this rear hub bolt pattern, this sprocket bolts up using the stock hardware pattern with no modification needed. IPD Racing stocks part number 033199 and can help confirm fitment before you buy.
