At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex CAT5 Rear Sprocket in Aluminum, 43-Tooth, 525 Pitch, Blue (Kawasaki fitment, part number 454ZB-43) - a race-proven upgrade that combines eye-catching style with genuine performance benefits over a heavy OEM steel sprocket. Vortex sprockets are built for riders who want their machine to look as fast as it runs, and this CAT5 sprocket delivers a striking blue finish with contrasting silver highlights that make it stand out on the track or the street.
Unlike a standard sprocket, the CAT5 series is anodized in color first, then CNC machined from premium 7075 aluminum, exposing bright silver machine cuts against the vivid anodized background for a truly custom look. This lightweight aluminum construction reduces rotating mass compared to heavier steel sprockets, which can translate into snappier acceleration and improved handling on your Kawasaki. Vortex backs this sprocket with its patented tooth design, engineered to increase longevity and provide a smoother, more efficient chain interface than conventional sprockets.
Vortex Racing components are developed and tested by racers, with direct feedback from top professional race teams, so you can trust that this sprocket is built to perform under real racing conditions, not just look good sitting still. Whether you're chasing lap times or simply want a lighter, more distinctive drivetrain component, this Vortex CAT5 rear sprocket is a proven choice.
