Weight saving Ducati ‘Stealth’ sprockets

Sprocket brand of choice for more than 60 World Champions of various disciplines (including three Pikes Peak hill climb successes – a real sprocket killer!), you would think that there couldn’t possibly be any new products from legendary manufacturer Supersprox to bring to the market. But the motorcycle industry rarely stands still, and there are always new opportunities, applications and fitments.

The latest addition from the inventor of aluminium and aluminium and steel combination sprockets is a new range of sprockets for Ducati motorcycles. With a claimed weight reduction compared to the OEM steel sprocket of over 30%, Supersprox ‘Stealth’ racing sprockets have steel teeth for long life and an aluminium core for light weight. 

Produced in Europe with production in Supersprox’ Polish and Ukraine factories, the company is currently working with HRC, KTM, Yamaha and Husqvarna factory teams to develop their latest idea of a sprocket that will help extend chain life by more than 40%.
“Although this may sound like an exaggeration, we are closer than you may imagine,” says Director General DJ Maughfling, whose father Roger founded the company in the 1950s. “The goal is to keep riding affordable for our clients,” says DJ. With their ‘Stealth’ sprockets featuring steel teeth that last up to three times longer than aluminium, and aluminium cores that are 70 percent light than steel, if anyone has the credentials to back up ambitions such as these, Supersprox certainly does.
DJ says that the company has openings for importer/distributors in certain markets and will be at EICMA to meet potential new partners.
