At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex CAT5 Rear Sprocket in Black, part number 452AZK-48 - a 48-tooth, 520-pitch aluminum sprocket engineered for Kawasaki models that demand less rotating mass and more confidence-inspiring performance. Vortex builds every CAT5 sprocket by anodizing the aluminum in color first, then CNC machining it from 7075 aluminum, which reveals a striking black finish contrasted by bright silver highlights on the machined surfaces. The result is a sprocket that looks as aggressive as it performs, whether you're carving up the track or shaving seconds off your lap times.

Vortex's patented saber tooth grooves give this sprocket its signature unique tooth design, engineered to increase sprocket longevity while helping to reduce chain and sprocket wear. Because it's a lightweight aluminum racing sprocket rather than a heavier OEM steel unit, it cuts rotating mass to help free up horsepower and sharpen acceleration and handling. It's no surprise that racing champions rely on this proven CAT5 design for its tight tolerances and dependable performance on demanding courses.
