This 44-tooth rear sprocket is precision-machined from high-strength 16MnCR5 steel and case-hardened for exceptional durability under the extreme chain forces generated by high-performance motorcycles. Designed specifically for the BMW S1000R with a 525-pitch drive chain, it offers a reliable OEM-compatible replacement or gearing adjustment option.
Key Features
- 44-tooth rear sprocket for 525 pitch chain
- High-strength 16MnCR5 steel construction, case-hardened for maximum wear resistance
- Lower final drive ratio compared to higher tooth count sprockets — improves acceleration and low-to-mid range response
- Direct fitment for BMW S1000R using standard 525 pitch chain
What does a 44T rear sprocket do to performance?
Fitting a 44-tooth rear sprocket lowers the final drive ratio, increasing engine revs at any given speed for stronger acceleration and more responsive mid-range power — at a modest reduction in maximum top speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What chain pitch does this suit? Designed for 525 pitch chains. Confirm your existing chain pitch before purchasing.
Is this suitable for the BMW S1000R? Yes. This sprocket is specifically designed for the BMW S1000R using the standard 525 pitch chain specification.
