Sitta Aluminium Rear Sprocket Ducati Panigale 1299/S (2015-2018) Hard-Anodised – 37-46 Teeth, 520/525 Pitch (206D)

Machined from aerospace-grade aluminium and finished with a hard-anodised surface that outperforms standard anodising in wear resistance, the Sitta 206D rear sprocket brings Italian engineering heritage to the drivetrain of the Ducati Panigale 1299 and 1299 S. Available across a 37-to-46-tooth range in both 520 and 525 pitch, it lets you tailor gearing precisely to your riding style — whether you are chasing lap records or refining road feel.

Key Features

• Hard-anodised aluminium construction delivers superior abrasion resistance compared to conventionally anodised sprockets, extending service life under sustained high-load use.
• Wide tooth selection from 37 to 46 lets you dial in acceleration, top-speed balance or fuel economy with a single sprocket swap.
• Dual pitch compatibility — 520 and 525 — accommodates both the standard factory chain specification and lightweight 520 conversion kits.
• Weighs just 625 g at 45 teeth, reducing unsprung rotational mass for sharper throttle response and improved drivetrain feel.
• 6-bolt 60/110 sprocket-carrier pattern ensures a precise, rattle-free fit to the Panigale 1299 hub with no modification required.

Design, Finish and Heritage

Sitta has been producing precision drivetrain components in Italy for decades, and the 206D rear sprocket reflects that lineage in every detail. The hard-anodising process penetrates the aluminium substrate rather than sitting on top of it, creating a surface layer that is harder and denser than standard anodising. The result is a sprocket that resists the grinding wear of high-power chain loads far longer while retaining the weight advantage that makes aluminium the material of choice at circuit level. The finish also gives the sprocket a purposeful, uniform appearance that suits the visual language of the Panigale 1299 perfectly.

On Road and Track

At 625 g for a 45-tooth unit, the 206D sits well below the weight of an equivalent steel sprocket. That reduction in rotating mass is felt immediately in how the 1299's engine revs and how the chassis responds to mid-corner throttle inputs. Teams running the Panigale in Superbike or track-day trim frequently choose a shorter rear sprocket — stepping from 41 to 43 or 44 teeth — to sharpen exit drive, while road riders may prefer a taller setup for relaxed motorway cruising. With ten tooth options in the range, the right compromise is always within reach.

Fitment and Compatibility

This sprocket is engineered specifically for the Ducati Panigale 1299 and 1299 S produced between 2015 and 2018. It mounts to the standard 6-bolt 60/110 sprocket carrier used across the Panigale family for that generation. Always verify your current chain pitch before ordering — the sprocket is available in both 520 and 525 variants to suit whichever specification your drivetrain runs.
