At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex CAT5 Rear Sprocket in Red, a 48-tooth 520-pitch aluminum sprocket engineered for Kawasaki applications and built to the exacting standards that have made Vortex a favorite among racers and trackday riders alike. This isn't just another aftermarket sprocket - it's a purpose-built performance component that combines eye-catching style with genuine durability, so your bike looks as good as it accelerates.
Vortex starts with premium 7075 aluminum and takes an unconventional approach: instead of machining first and coating after, the CAT5 sprocket is anodized in color first, then CNC machined, exposing the raw aluminum along the sweeps, mud grooves, and teeth. The result is a striking two-tone finish - vivid red with contrasting silver highlights - that instantly upgrades the look of your rear wheel while shedding unnecessary weight compared to a stock steel sprocket.
Beyond the visual upgrade, this sprocket is built to perform. Vortex's patented tooth design is engineered to increase longevity and provide smooth, reliable power transfer to the rear wheel, and it's a design that racing champions have trusted for years on the track and street. Whether you're chasing lap times or just want a lighter, better-looking drivetrain component, the Vortex CAT5 48T-520 Red sprocket delivers on both counts.
