Sprockets

Sprockets: the tooth count that sets your final drive

A sprocket is the toothed wheel your chain rides on, and it does one job that changes how the whole bike feels. The front (countershaft) and rear sprockets together set your final drive ratio: more rear teeth or fewer front teeth pulls harder off the bottom and revs quicker, while the opposite gears the bike taller for more top speed and lower cruising rpm. On V-twins, a compensating sprocket sits on the crank and damps driveline lash so the primary chain and engine live longer. Worn or mismatched sprockets chew chains, so most riders replace them as a matched set.

What's stocked here

This category holds 437 sprockets, priced from $8 to $299 at current in-stock levels - that's the range for what's on the shelf today, not a standing offer. Five brands are carried: Renthal (231 items) and ProTaper (176 items) make up the bulk, with Bike Master, TwinPower and Bikers Choice filling out the range. Fitment data is attached to 268 of the products, spanning years from 1930 to 2026.

The coverage leans heavily toward dirt and off-road, with top vehicles including the Honda CR250R, CRF250R and CRF450R, Yamaha WR and YZ, Kawasaki KX250, KTM SX and XC, and the Suzuki RM125. V-twin riders are covered too - the Twin Power Big Twin compensating sprocket kit and the 24-tooth Twin Power Touring comp kit sit near the top of the price range, alongside the Bikers Choice 34T Comp Eliminator sprocket for Softail, Dyna and Touring models and its M8 counterpart.

How to choose

Decide on gearing first. If you want more snap and easier drive out of corners, go up on rear teeth; if you spin out and want taller gearing, go down. Then pick material and build. Rear sprockets like the Renthal Twinring for Kawasaki KX and the Renthal Twinring for Honda CRF/CR pair a steel tooth ring with a lighter center. For V-twins the choice is different: you're matching a compensating or comp-eliminator sprocket to your exact model year and engine, so read the fitment notes closely - several kits specifically exclude M8 or wide-tire builds.

What else you need

Change sprockets and you should change the chain too - see Chain Components to buy the set together. From the same Drivetrain section, riders often pair this work with Clutch Components, Clutch Rebuild Kits, Shift Components and fresh Axles.

Fitment and ordering

Confirm your make, model and year against each listing before you buy, and use our fitment calculator when you're checking wheel and drivetrain setups. Not sure on tooth count or fit?
