At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex CAT5 Rear Sprocket in Red, 43T-520 fitment for Kawasaki (part #452AZR-43) — a race-proven, lightweight aluminum sprocket built to sharpen your bike's acceleration while giving it a serious dose of trackside style. Vortex has been a trusted name behind championship-winning setups, and this CAT5 sprocket carries that same reputation for durability, precision, and performance straight to your driveline.

Unlike heavier OEM steel sprockets, this Vortex CAT5 unit is machined from lightweight aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum, cutting rotating mass for quicker acceleration and sharper handling. The sprocket is innovatively engineered through a meticulous process — first anodized in vibrant red, then precision CNC machined from premium 7075 aluminum, yielding a visually striking sprocket adorned with captivating silver highlights. It utilizes the same Vortex design with a color anodizing that excludes sweeps, mud grooves, and teeth, so the bold red finish pops against bright silver machined accents for a look that turns heads even at a standstill.

Beyond the eye-catching finish, this sprocket is built for real performance. It's a lightweight CAT5 aluminum racing sprocket, 100% CNC manufactured in the U.S.A. from a specially formulated alloy per Vortex specifications. Saber tooth grooves and a unique tooth design help increase sprocket longevity, while the Vortex patented sprocket design is unlike any other sprocket on the market. Racing champions trust the proven design of the CAT5 Vortex Aluminum Sprocket because of its tight tolerances and unique tooth design. Add this 43-tooth, 520-pitch red sprocket to your Kawasaki from DMG Motorsports and get a genuine performance upgrade backed by decades of racing pedigree.
