AFAM Steel Standard Front Sprocket 97200 – 520
The AFAM 97200 standard steel front sprocket is a high-strength countershaft sprocket for motorcycles using 520-pitch from a high-resistance steel alloy and precision-machined, it is designed to deliver reliable power transfer and long-lasting transmission performance in demanding on-road and off-road use.
Key Features
- High-resistance steel alloy construction for excellent wear resistance and long service life.
- Precision-machined teeth and spline profile for smooth, consistent power delivery and accurate chain tracking.
- Standard-design front sprocket for 520 chain pitch, suitable for a wide range of off-road and trials motorcycles.
- Part family 97200, typically available in 9–11 tooth options depending on the specific application.
- Developed as part of complete AFAM transmission kits to support overall drivetrain durability.
