Steel's gonna give you the longest life, either www.hoheydesigns.com or www.sickinnovations.com both sell/make steel sprockets. I think vortex, etc are mostly aluminum.

Re: the most durable sprocket
its just a sprocket.......get whatever you want
i got some cheap thrust sprockets and they're doing fine.
i dont see anything wrong with going with vortex
check with sick tho, they always have some good parts

Re: the most durable sprocket
I've never used one, but you can't get much more durable than this...

Speaking from experience ... I have never had a problem with Aluminum. Phil at Moto-Heaven.com has always been really good to do business with.

Re: the most durable sprocket
i used to swear by steel sprockets. but honestly now im like why the **** should i spend that much money for steel when i can buy 2 aluminums for about the same price. i never keep a bike long enough to wear out a sprocket anyway, keep ur chaing adjusted right and clean and aluminum will last you a good amount of time. sketchy on this site hooked up me up with a sick *** sprocket from pmp, hit him up he'll get you a good deal and get it to you quick.

Re: the most durable sprocket
We carry both the Thrust Company and Vortex sprockets.
Cant go wrong with either, but we've had really good success with the Thrust Company. If anyone wants a deal, let me know and we'll hook you up

Re: the most durable sprocket
The PMP sprockets sketchy sells are bad ***.
I have always ran Vortex and never had a problem. Like SDF said, keep your **** adjusted properly and it will last a long *** time.
