At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex CAT5 Rear Sprocket in Red — a 40-tooth, 520-pitch aluminum sprocket engineered to shave rotating mass and add race-proven style to your Kawasaki. This sprocket is anodized in color first and then CNC machined from 7075 aluminum, a process that strips away the color at the sweeps, mud grooves, and teeth to reveal the bare aluminum underneath. The result is a bold red finish contrasted by bright silver machined highlights, giving your bike an aggressive, track-ready look that never sacrifices function for form.

Built entirely in the USA from a specially formulated alloy to Vortex's own specifications, this CAT5 sprocket swaps out heavier OEM steel for a lighter, quicker-spinning alternative that helps improve acceleration and handling. The patented saber tooth groove design is unlike anything else on the market, increasing sprocket longevity while maintaining the tight tolerances that have made Vortex a trusted name among racing champions. Whether you're chasing lap times or just want a sharper-looking drivetrain, this sprocket delivers both performance and presence.
