Vertex - updated sprocket options
Developed in collaboration with leading factory MX and Enduro teams, Italian pistons specialist Vertex has updated its range of front and rear sprockets.
Three models are available, all fully CNC-machined to guarantee durability in steel, aluminium or its steel/aluminium 'Duo' line - all with an exclusive 'paddock kudos' Vertex design.
The 'Steel' line is made in C45 steel with induction-hardened teeth for higher resistance and less wear, with a lightweight core, black anti-oxide plating and mud groove lines around the diameter.
The 'Alu' line is made in coloured and silver EC-Ergal (7075-T6 heat-treated zinc/aluminium alloy) with self-cleaning mud grooves between each tooth to prevent dirt build-up. A new design for the teeth improves chain engagement and extends chain life; they are available in various brand match colours.
The 'Duo' line is a bi-metal sprocket made with C45 steel induction-hardened teeth and 7075-T6 alloy core developed to extend the sprocket and chain lifetime - also available in choice of colours.
For the front sprockets there are two models, both precision CNC-machined from 16CrNi4 special steel and available in black - the basic model K and the KC version are equipped with lightening holes that have been optimally designed to not compromise strength and reliability.
