At DMG Motorsports, we present the Vortex F5 Rear Sprocket in 44T-520 Black Hardcoat Aluminum (452AK-44) — a race-bred sprocket built to shave weight without sacrificing strength. Designed for compatible Kawasaki models running a 520 conversion, this sprocket is engineered by Vortex to deliver the durability and precision demanded by champions on the track and street alike.

Every Vortex F5 sprocket is 100% CNC-machined from a specially formulated 7075 aluminum alloy, then finished with a hard anodized jet black dye and a PTFE topcoat for a slick, wear-resistant surface that keeps the drivetrain running cleaner for longer. The patented tooth profile is designed specifically to extend sprocket life, giving riders a lightweight, long-lasting alternative to stock steel sprockets.

Features:

• CNC machined from 7075 aluminum for exceptional strength and light weight
• Hard anodized with a jet black dye for a durable, race-ready finish
• PTFE black hardcoat adds lubricity and increases wear resistance
• Unique, patented tooth design increases sprocket longevity
• 100% CNC manufactured to Vortex specifications for precise fitment
• 44-tooth, 520-pitch configuration for Kawasaki 520 chain conversions
• Trusted by champions in road racing competition
