At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex CAT5 Rear Sprocket in 44-tooth, 530 pitch, finished in eye-catching blue with silver highlights (PN 438ZB-44). Fitting select Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha sportbikes, this sprocket is built for riders who want a genuine performance upgrade over the heavy stock steel sprocket without sacrificing style. Vortex sprockets are a lightweight high-performance alternative to the stock steel sprocket, and they considerably reduce mass and allow you to change your gearing to suit your riding style, whether that's track days or street use.

The CAT5 series is manufactured using a unique process where each sprocket is anodized in color first, then precision CNC machined from premium 7075 aluminum, which is what produces the striking two-tone look with bright silver highlights against the deep blue anodized finish. Because the machining tolerances are so tight, every sprocket comes out perfectly concentric, which frees up horsepower and extends the life of both your chain and sprocket. Add in Vortex's patented tooth design, and you get a sprocket that isn't just about looks — it's engineered to reduce friction and drag for smoother acceleration and deceleration, all while shedding rotating weight that steel sprockets simply can't match.

DMG Motorsports stocks genuine Vortex parts because they're trusted by racers and champions who demand reliability when it counts. If you're building out a full drivetrain or just replacing a worn sprocket, this CAT5 44T unit is a proven choice backed by Vortex's reputation for quality and performance.
