NEW sprocket applications from Japanese manufacturer Sunstar include high strength, wear resistant, lightweight hard anodised coated 7075 T6 heat-treated 'Ergal' aluminium alloy 'Works Triplestar' designs that are said to provide 24 percent greater chain contact area than the stock sprockets they replace.
Sunstar say that this is due to their exclusive 'tooth-valley' technology, which increases power transfer efficiency and reliability; this is one of many proprietary design and manufacturing techniques the company has developed since it started making sprockets for OE motorcycle manufacturers as far back as 1946.
They are available in polished metal, and a range of Japanese, European and American motorcycle manufacturer OE-match anodised colours, including black and KTM orange.
The company is the world’s largest sprocket manufacturer, and they say that these are the "longest lasting aluminium rear sprockets on today's market".
Also seen here the S3 off-road and Enduro brake disc with directional 'Wave' profile is the latest addition to the Italian made BATFLY range first introduced by Braking in 2002.
The three-piece semi-floating design of the outer braking track is said to allow for improved heat dissipation and improve feel (and therefore control) under braking, and reduced weight compared to the OE item.

The BATFLY grooves on the disc's surface is said to create a self-ventilating mechanism for improved cooling. Other advantages are that mud and dirt are easily cleaned from the pad surface and outer braking track and the outside and inside disc's diameter have a round design, which allows a better radial expansion of the disc in extreme heat conditions.
The carrier is part of the brake band, but in three points where the two parts are connected with stainless steel rivets. This is said to give the best compromise between the prompt response of a fixed disc while providing the performance and improved heat dissipation typical of floating discs.
