Spike's Sprockets are anodized
in Clear, Black and Hard coat.
Spike's Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) Machining assures
precision quality from 7075-T6 alloy to Spike's Sprockets
exacting specifications. Plus! Anodized to extend the life of the
sprocket and the chain.
Our 7075-T6 alloy is almost 4 times stronger than OEM steel
sprockets and are warranted for LIFE against manufacturing and
material defects.
Spike's Saves Seconds and lays the horsepower down where it
counts!

Manufacturing Process : |
All Spikes Sprockets use a
C.A.D./C.A.M Programmed C.N.C. Machining to ensure that each
sprocket is machined to exact specifications.
We do not pull sprocket blanks off the wall and
machine out the center hub and mounting holes to fit any old
motorcycle. Each of our sprockets are precision machined to fit
the specific motorcycle they will be used on.
Our tight manufacturing specifications minimize friction in the
drive chain system which results in horsepower savings on your
motorcycle.
After the sprocket is machined, we run it through our quality
assurance process and anodize the sprocket to prevent wear and
oxidation. Some sprocket suppliers simply have their sprockets
chemically etched which gives the sprocket a nice appearance,
but does not impede wearing the sprocket.
A piece of aircraft aluminum is placed in our CNC machine where
the tooth profile, mounting holes and hub are all machined at
the same time to insure a completely concentric sprocket with no
horsepower robbing artificial tight spots in your chain drive
system.
Quality Control:
Prior to machining, our machinists inspect each piece to insure
that it is not warped and is free of any blemishes. Once the CNC
machine runs it's cycle, our machinist checks the sprocket
visually and with calibrated instruments to measure the finished
product meets our design specifications.
The final step of the manufacturing process is to anodize the
sprocket to prevent oxidation, reduce wear and penetrate down
into the metal to provide an additional metal jacket. Each
sprocket we manufacture is inspected on five separate times by
three different quality control agents before being packaged for
shipping. Our attention to detail is your assurance that you
will receive a precision part with every purchase.

Materials : |
Our sprockets are machined from
Certified Aerospace Grade 7075-T6 Alloy which is almost four times
stronger than O.E.M. steel sprockets in terms of tensile strength
and about 1/3 of it's weight.
Not all alloys are good enough to become one of Spike's Sprockets.
This is why we insist on seeing the Engineering Report on any
given sheet of alloy, prior to purchasing. Each sheet of 7075 - T6
alloy that we purchase, has a "Certified Inspection
Report". This report is prepared by an Engineer that tested a
sample of the alloy in question. The report indicates the alloy's
exact tensile strength (Kilograms per square Inch required to tear
the material).
The composition of metals and the percentage of these metals
present. Once we have a sheet of alloy that meets our
specifications, the sheet is then cut into individual
blanks to be placed in the CNC machining center.
Performance:
On average, our sprockets allow our customers to save
approximately 2 pounds of unsprung weight at the rear wheel. That
translates into a better handling motorcycle. In terms of
horsepower gains, our tight manufacturing tolerances result in
less friction and drive chain drag in the drive chain system which
leads to more horsepower getting to the rear wheel.
Design:
We don't cut corners. That is why we have chosen
to produce our sprockets with the use of C.A.D. (computer assisted
design) and C.A.M. (computer assisted manufacturing) production
processes. This is the only way to be sure that the sprocket you
buy, is machined to exact tolerances and you receive a precision
product ... every time.
Unlike most sprocket suppliers, our sprockets are completely CNC
machined, from the tooth profiles, right down to the lightening
holes. This is the most expensive form of machining, but the
quality speaks for itself.

Industry Support
"M.A.S. Cycle Service is a performance shop and we appreciate
the overall appearance of your quality sprockets. Our customers
have said Spike's Sprockets wear like iron."
- Michael Stronach, President of M.A.S Cycle Service
White Rock, BC Canada
Customer Support
"I ride a Suzuki GSXR 750 for Suzuki Canada and found your
sprockets to be of the highest quality for fit, finish and overall
wear. I have not noticed any visible wear on the tooth profiles
after a full race season."
- Scott Borthwick, Second overall in 750 Superbike West
Coast Challenge
