Description
This black rear sprocket earns its spot in the ProTaper Race Spec lineup by tackling the two failure points riders complain about most, premature tooth wear and mud packing. 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.
- Countersunk mounting holes self-center the sprocket on the hub, no separate center guide needed
- Improved chain-to-tooth contact reduces localized wear and extends service life
- 51 tooth count in black finish, sized for Suzuki/Yamaha rear hub applications
- 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
- 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
For anyone gearing down for tight woods riding or gearing up for faster open tracks on Suzuki and Yamaha motocross and off-road models sharing this rear hub bolt pattern, this tooth count and color option covers that swap cleanly. IPD Racing sku 033187.
