PRO GuIDe PBR 2019 sprockets Italian sprocket specialist PBR has extended its successful C45T rear sprockets range for new 2019 models. With an excellent price to quality ratio and chosen by many sports, road, naked and touring motorcycles riders, they are made from precision CNC- machined tempered steel. An induction temper on the teeth area (the chain contact path) produces less friction, so sprocket and chain durability and reliability are improved with less wear and reduced noise. The steel RSS (Rubber Sprocket System) front sprockets seen here are PBR’s top-end, cutting edge product – “an innovative combination of extremely high strength and extraordinary fluidity and quietness. These qualities are obtained thanks to the rubber injected in the holes drilled in the front sprocket. Durability is improved as the rubber lasts longer, eliminating the problems sometimes associated with glue, preserving reliability”. RSS front sprockets are available for all EK chain C-Light rear sprocket sport, street and medium/heavy Enduro/off- road motorcycles, updated to include 2019 models. For off-road applications, PBR’s C-Light rear sprockets are precision CNC-machined from black, zinc coated C45 carbon steel to improve quality and reliability. They are described as having an attractive lightening C45T street sprocket racing chain despite their “convenient price to quality ratio”, PBR says they offer “complete reliability, excellent duration, quality and lightness” for on-road and off- road bikes up to and including 2019 and coloured versions in Heavy Duty, O-Ring, QX-Ring, SRX2, QX-MVXZ2 Series, and top of the range ZVX3 version. RSS front sprocket hole design and are additionally available in tempered steel for greater durability and “operational excellence” in extreme conditions. The C-Light line can be combined with PBR’s off-road front sprocket range and is available in different sizes for two/four- stroke engine MX and Enduro models from Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha and KTM. For small to mid-size displacement road and off-road use, PBR is also now offering an enlarged EK Chains range.
