The rear sprocket is the cheapest way to change the character of the drivetrain. You are not adding power — you are changing how that power reaches the wheel. CNC-machined from 7075-T651: harder and stronger than the common 6061, so the teeth hold their geometry under chain load while staying light.
Stock on the Talaria Sting MX5 Pro is 48 teeth. This one has 48 as well — gearing stays stock. You replace the sprocket, not the character of the drive: top speed and pull as from the factory.
How many teeth to pick
| How you ride | What you take | What you gain, what you lose |
|---|---|---|
| Technical terrain, climbs, stunt | More teeth than stock | Torque at the wheel and control at low speed. You lose top speed. |
| Mixed: some trail, some commute | Close to the stock 48T | The compromise the manufacturer chose as default. |
| Long straights, tarmac, top speed | Fewer teeth than stock | Higher top speed. You lose bottom-end punch and climbing force. |
This item is 48T — the stock size, drive character unchanged. Other sizes from the same family are in the tiles below.

Frequently asked questions
How many teeth does the stock sprocket have?
On the Talaria Sting MX5 Pro the stock sprocket is 48T. This item is 48T too — gearing unchanged.
Does a bigger sprocket increase range?
There is no simple answer and we are not going to promise one. A shorter final drive reduces motor load on climbs, but at the same road speed the motor spins higher. In technical terrain it usually helps; on tarmac it usually does not.
Do I have to change the chain?
Not always, but you do have to check. Changing tooth count changes the tensioner range. A big jump upwards usually means extra links.
Why 7075-T651 and not 6061?
7075-T651 is harder and stronger. Under chain load the teeth round off more slowly and the sprocket keeps its geometry longer.
Does it fit a model other than the Talaria Sting MX5 Pro?
No. This version is for the Talaria Sting MX5 Pro. We stock separate items for the other models — message us and we will pick one.
