JT Racelite Aluminium 7075-T6 Race Sprocket (45 Teeth) for Fantic Caballero 500 Models
The JT Racelite Aluminium 7075-T6 Race Sprocket by JT Sprockets is the perfect choice for FANTIC Caballero 500 models from 2021 onwards. Made from high-strength 7075-T6 aluminium, it offers extreme durability at minimal weight – the sprocket is over 480 g lighter than the original steel version. Reduced unsprung and rotating mass deliver noticeably more agile handling, improved acceleration and quicker throttle response – ideal for road, gravel and sporty riding.
Wear
Aluminium sprockets show slightly higher wear than steel versions due to the softer material. However, our long-term tests show that in practice the front sprocket always wears out first. As a result, using an aluminium rear sprocket causes no noticeable disadvantages over the service life of a complete chain set.
At the same time, the advantages clearly prevail: the reduced rotating mass improves overall dynamics – throttle response becomes more direct, inertia decreases and handling becomes noticeably more agile.
