C-Light Evolution by PBR
The latest rear sprocket from Italian specialist PBR - the C-Light Evolution - is described as being its "technically most advanced off-road rear sprocket model yet and fully Made In Italy".
Manufactured in black zinc-coated C45 steel and tempered to further enhance its durability, it weighs in at just 0.74 kg thanks to its optimised design with 21.3% less metal than the standard C45 steel sprocket the company introduced in 2019 and 14% less than the previous C-Light model.
Developed together with six-time WMX champion Kiara Fontanesi, it is precision CNC-machined and available in different sizes for two- and four-stroke Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Husqvarna and KTM MX and Enduro models.
The design of the lightening holes is described as being so advanced that the C-Light Evolution is able to have a similar weight to an Ergal (zinc aluminium alloy) sprocket, while maintaining the strength of the steel.
PBR was the first manufacturer in Italy to specialise in motorcycle gears and has been producing rear and front sprockets there since 1969 and now numbers over 5,000 resellers among its worldwide sales network, with 3,368 application references in its catalogue and over 10,000 rear and front sprockets available from inventory at its ISO 9001 certified facility near Bologna.
The company says that around 18 months of R&D with MotoGP (now with Honda LCR and Aprilia racing team), Superbike, MotoCross and Enduro teams has gone into this new sprocket design. PBR is a Tier 1 OE supplier to brands such as KTM, Husqvarna, Aprilia, Piaggio, MV Agusta, Fantic and Sherco.
