DescriptionThe whole story▼
Machined from chromium-molybdenum steel and built to motorsport tolerances, the Sitta T001 front sprocket is engineered to extract every last fraction of performance from the KTM RC8 1190. Whether you are chasing lap times on track or refining the drive on the road, this is the component that transforms how power reaches the rear wheel.
Key Features
- Chromium-molybdenum steel construction delivers exceptional tensile strength and long-term resistance to drivetrain wear
- Precision-machined teeth provide consistent, rattle-free engagement with both 520 and 525 pitch chains
- Available in 16 or 17-tooth configurations, giving you genuine control over your gearing and throttle response
- Exact-fit design for the KTM RC8 1190 ensures straightforward installation with no shimming or modification required
- Equally at home on road or track — from daily commutes to circuit sessions
Material Quality and Construction
The T001 is produced from high-grade chromium-molybdenum steel, a material selected specifically for its superior hardness and fatigue resistance compared to standard carbon steel sprockets. The alloy maintains its geometry under sustained high-load conditions, meaning tooth wear is significantly reduced and chain life is extended. Every tooth profile is machined to tight tolerances so that chain seating is immediate and consistent from the first ride onwards.
Please note: the product image currently displayed shows the Sitta Z001 sprocket. No dedicated photograph exists for the T001 model, though the two are visually very similar in appearance.
Gearing and Performance
Selecting the correct tooth count for your riding style makes a measurable difference to how the RC8 1190 behaves on the road or circuit. A 16-tooth sprocket shortens the overall gearing ratio, sharpening acceleration out of corners and making the engine feel more responsive at lower speeds — ideal for tight, technical circuits or urban riding. Stepping up to 17 teeth lengthens the ratio, reducing engine revs at motorway speeds, smoothing the power delivery on fast open roads and extending the effective top speed. The T001 is available in both counts across 520 and 525 chain pitches so you can match the sprocket precisely to your existing chain setup or a full chain kit replacement.
