Product Overview

Key Features

- Multiple tooth count options – Available from 12T to 18T for different gearing preferences and ratio adjustments
Technical Specifications
- Material: Steel

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases
This cog is compatible with BMX hubs using Shimano cassette freehub bodies. Not compatible with freewheel hubs, single-speed fixed threading, or non-Shimano cassette systems (SRAM XD, Campagnolo, etc.). Works with standard BMX chains. Ideal for racers who need a replacement cog or want to change gearing ratios. Lower tooth counts (12T–13T) provide quicker acceleration and easier pedaling, while higher counts (16T–18T) offer more top-end speed. Steel construction makes this cog suitable for high-power applications and riders who prioritize durability over minimal weight savings.
