This 44-tooth steel rear sprocket is designed for motorcycles and small-displacement bikes running a 428 pitch drive chain — a common specification on entry-level, commuter, and smaller capacity motorcycles. It serves as a reliable direct replacement for worn sprockets or as a gearing adjustment to fine-tune drivetrain performance.
Key Features
- 44-tooth rear sprocket for 428 pitch chain
- Steel construction for durability and long service life
- Lower final drive ratio, favouring acceleration and mid-range torque
- Common fitment for small-to-mid displacement motorcycles using a 428-pitch chain
What does a 44T rear sprocket do to performance?
A 44-tooth rear sprocket provides a lower final drive ratio, delivering stronger acceleration and responsive low-to-mid range power at a modest reduction in top-end speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What chain pitch does this suit? Designed for 428 pitch chains. Always confirm your existing chain pitch before purchasing.
Is a 428-pitch chain common? Yes. The 428 pitch is widely used on smaller displacement commuter and entry-level motorcycles.
Should I replace my chain and front sprocket at the same time? Yes. Replacing the full drivetrain together ensures even wear and maximises the longevity of all components.
