At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex CAT5 Rear Sprocket in 42T-525 Blue for Kawasaki (part number 454ZB-42) — a lightweight, race-bred sprocket built to shed unsprung weight while adding a serious dose of style to your bike's drivetrain. Vortex has long been a favorite among racers and trackday riders alike, and this CAT5 sprocket carries that pedigree into a 525-pitch, 42-tooth configuration finished in a striking blue anodized colorway.
Unlike ordinary colored sprockets, Vortex's process anodizes the sprocket in color first, then precision CNC machines it from 7075 aluminum — a technique that produces a trick colored sprocket with silver highlights. The result is a sprocket that not only looks fast sitting still, but is engineered to perform lap after lap. Vortex's proprietary tooth profile is designed for extended service life, and the brand's reputation on the track speaks for itself: racing champions trust the proven design of the CAT5 Vortex aluminum sprocket because of its tight tolerances and unique tooth design.
Whether you're chasing lap times or simply want to upgrade your Kawasaki's stock steel sprocket with something lighter and more eye-catching, this Vortex CAT5 42T-525 sprocket delivers both performance and presence. Pick it up today at DMG Motorsports and give your bike the finishing touch it deserves.
