I have a steel sprocket on the bike I bought that looks like that except black. If you can deal with it looking a little rusty they last forever.
Those things really do last.
Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself. You've got to believe in foolish miracles. It's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose. You can choose. Don't confuse. Win or lose. It's up to you!

They are good because they are steel and only a little heavier.
I wouldn't run that design with an aluminum sprocket.
No problems at all with mine.

They are $120 on dirt tricks website but RMATV has them for $107 + free shipping.
I've bought 3 dirt tricks sprockets in the last 10 years, one for each bike I've owned in that time. Each one went through at least 5 chains (except current one, too new), and the sprocket stayed with the bike(s) when sold because they were still good. 12+ off road races a year plus practice and recreational riding. There is no better value in sprockets.
I have the zirconium on my current bike.
Man , not much material there. They really have that long of a life? They actually look trick as heck with that heat treating thing they have going on.
" And there goes Jeffro. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
Have maybe 20 hours on mine, and it's like brand new.
The only issue I have is that I don't get much life out of chains. I usually replace counter sprocket and chains at the same time, but IDK if the IronMan is destroying my chains.
If so, I'm not sure if it would be worth it to just stick to cheap aluminum sprockets and replace everything at once.

you'll get more than that start thinking in terms of the whole season you'll change it cause your bored with it not cause it wore out or you'll sell that bike with it on
For anyone interested in getting one, another member posted this. 20% off and free shipping with code JkopMX17 when used on Dirt Tricks website. Makes them a little cheaper.
This thread turned into me just wondering if anyone has seen or ran one into me now buying one lol.

mine are the steel, not the zirc.
the sprocket on my 300 (now a snowbike) has over 3000 miles on it over multiple chains. still looks brand new.
