Many of today’s production bikes deliver over 200 HP. This is more or less the point where an aluminium sprocket is on the limit of his mechanical characteristics. Premature wear results in power loss and as a result the material fatigue can cause cracks
In racing the lifetime of a steel sprocket will be clearly superior to an aluminum sprocket. While a steel sprocket will be slightly heavier than an aluminum sprocket, the RLK sprocket design makes this steel sprocket as light as possible.
Hardened teeth, 4 times harder than aluminium sprocket, give negligible wear and increase transmission efficiency. Developed in partnership with Forward Racing MotoGP team, who report no measurable wear until 3000km+.
AFAM is highly respected worldwide for their precise manufacturing processes and race success in partnership with many of the world’s top teams.
History
AFAM have been manufacturing sprockets in France for more than 25 years and have over 7,000 references, in steel and alloy, probably the widest range of transmission available for the aftermarket. Besides having a wide range of alternative gearing, the quality of AFAM sprockets largely exceeds the quality of OEM.
