Works Triplestar
sprockets and BATFLY
S3 rotors
NEW sprocket applications from Japanese
manufacturer Sunstar include high strength, wear
resistant, lightweight hard anodised coated 7075 T6
heat-treated 'Ergal' aluminium alloy 'Works
Triplestar' designs that are said to provide 24 percent
greater chain contact area than the stock sprockets
they replace.
Sunstar say that this is due to their exclusive 'toothvalley' technology, which increases power transfer
efficiency and reliability; this is one of many
proprietary design and manufacturing techniques the
company has developed since it started making
sprockets for OE motorcycle manufacturers as f ar
back as 1946.
They are available in polished metal, and a range
of Japanese, European and American motorcycle
manufacturer OE-match anodised colours, including
black and KTM orange.
The company is the world’s largest sprocket
manufacturer, and they say that these are the
"longest lasting aluminium rear sprockets on today's
market".
Also seen here the S3 off-road and Enduro brake
disc with directional 'Wave' profile is the latest
addition to the Italian made BATFLY range first
introduced by Braking in 2002.

The three-piece semi-floating design of the outer
braking track is said to allow for improved heat
dissipation and improve feel (and therefore control)
under braking, and reduced weight compared to the
OE item.
The BATFLY grooves on the disc's surface is said to
create a self-ventilating mechanism for improved
cooling. Other advantages are that mud and dirt are
easily cleaned from the pad surface and outer braking
track and the outside and inside disc's diameter have
a round design, which allows a better radial
expansion of the disc in extreme heat conditions.

The carrier is part of the brake band, but in three
points where the two parts are connected with
stainless steel rivets. This is said to give the best
compromise between the prompt response of a fixed
disc while providing the performance and improved
heat dissipation typical of floating discs.
