At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex CAT5 Rear Sprocket in Red — a 43-tooth, 530-pitch aluminum sprocket built for Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha applications (part number 438ZR-43). This isn't just another replacement sprocket; it's a race-bred component engineered by a brand that champions and privateer racers alike have trusted for years to shave weight and hold up to the abuse of hard riding.
What sets this sprocket apart is its manufacturing process. Vortex anodizes the aluminum in vivid color first, then CNC machines it from premium 7075 aluminum, which cuts away the anodized layer along the sweeps, mud grooves, and teeth to expose bright silver highlights against the bold red finish. Innovatively engineered, the Vortex CAT5 Series Rear Sprockets undergo a meticulous process, first anodized in vibrant hues before being precision CNC machined from premium 7075 aluminum, yielding a visually striking sprocket adorned with captivating silver highlights. The result is a sprocket that looks as fast as it performs, standing out on any bike while dropping unsprung rotating weight versus a stock steel unit.
Beyond the looks, the sprocket features saber tooth grooves and a unique tooth design that increases sprocket longevity, and 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. Every sprocket is 100% CNC manufactured in the U.S.A. using a specially formulated alloy per Vortex specifications, so you get consistent quality and a precise fit built specifically for compatible Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha models.
Whether you're chasing lap times at the track or just want a lighter, better-looking drivetrain component on the street, this Vortex CAT5 sprocket from DMG Motorsports delivers race-proven performance with unmistakable style.
