PRO GuIDe Ognibene 'Black Edition' off-road rear sprockets Bologna, Italy based chain drive transmissions and motorcycle component specialist Ognibene has a full range of options specified, designed and manufactured for the very particular needs, stresses and dynamics of off-road power transmissions - "getting the power from the engine to the rear wheel on motorcycles that will spend all their time coping with the rugged terrain and special demands of off-road riding is a very particular science," says Sales Manager Federico Arbizzani. "The demands on materials and manufacturing technology are tough in the off-road world, but we understand that and are able to bring 60 years of experience to every component we make for offroad bikes. We are able to combine performance with durability and aesthetics." These new 'Black Edition' Ognibene off-road rear sprockets are made in super-lightened C45 hardened steel (a medium strength steel with good machinability and excellent tensile properties) in an Ognibene exclusive design that not only looks good but is 30% lighter compared to a standard sprocket - achieved without reducing its all-important wear resistance and durability. The precision of the company's CNC manufacturing ensures mud discharge to keep the sprocket teeth surface clean and durable, and the cataphoresis treatment improves resistance to chemical and environmental corrosion. Ognibene off-road rear sprockets are available in tooth sizes and configurations for all the most popular makes and models. Ognibene also supplies complete transmission kits composed of D.I.D chains and Ognibene gears (front and rear sprockets), which are based on experience and the expertise developed in supplying major global brands such as Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, Yamaha, Beta, Honda and Husqvarna.

A machined aluminium coupling, which is anodised for a superior finish, and the use of steel screws make this a "premium design and superior quality upgrade". The articulated lever is entirely made of carbon fibre - the folding mechanism prevents breakage in the event of a fall. The distance of the levers are 25-position adjustable according to the rider's needs, even whilst riding, through the use of a knurled aluminium knob. The Race Carbon levers are supplied with two easily replaced adjustment knobs, anodised in red and black. These Race Carbon levers have a length of 190 mm from the pivot bolt, are not for mounting with handguards and are available in matt or gloss black carbon.
