VCUJSUC #35 Split 53T Sprocket with Aluminum Adapter for Predator 212cc & Mini Bikes — Red, Serviceable Split Design

If your machine uses a #35 chain and you need a replaceable driven gear, this split 53T sprocket and matching hub adapter provide a maintenance-friendly option that fits a wide range of small engines — including popular Predator 212cc and 196cc models and several CT/BT/MB series frames. The sprocket is split so it can be installed without disassembling the gearbox or removing axles, while the aluminum adapter centers the gear and bolts to most stock hubs.

How does the split sprocket make installation easier?

The two-piece (split) design lets you wrap the sprocket around an existing axle or shaft, avoiding time-consuming disassembly. Installation requires only the included hardware and basic tools, making field repairs and upgrades straightforward.

• Split 53-tooth ring installs around axles or shafts
• Includes six screws and six nuts for secure fastening
• Adapter centers the sprocket for proper chain alignment
• Aluminum construction reduces weight while remaining durable

Will this fit my Predator 212cc or CT200U-style mini bike?

Yes — the sprocket and adapter were designed to be broadly compatible with common small-engine models. It fits many Predator 212cc, 196cc and 79cc engines and multiple mini-bike and go-kart models that use a #35 chain and similar hub spacing.

• Compatible with Predator 212cc, 196cc and 79cc engines
• Works with CT200U, CT200U-EX, BT200X, CT100U, MB200 and similar frames
• #35 chain standard sizing for reliable fitment
• Adapter accommodates typical hub bolt patterns on small frames

What materials and parts are included?

The main sprocket ring is made from quality aluminum alloy for a balance of strength and lightness, and the black hub adapter is forged aluminum for precise fit and centering. The package contains every fastener you need to attach the split ring to the adapter.

• Red split 53T sprocket made of aluminum alloy
• Black forged aluminum sprocket hub adapter
• Six screws and six nuts included for mounting
• Hardware sized for straightforward, durable installation

How does this affect chain alignment and driveline performance?

Properly mounted, the adapter keeps the sprocket concentric to the hub, which helps the #35 chain run true and reduces premature wear. The 53-tooth count changes final drive ratio slightly compared with smaller rings, so consider gearing effects when choosing sprocket sizes.

• Adapter ensures concentric mounting for improved chain tracking
• 53T tooth count alters final drive ratio — check desired speed/torque
• Aluminum construction minimizes added rotational mass
• Split design allows realignment without major teardown

Who this is for: this split sprocket and adapter set is aimed at DIY mechanics, mini-bike and go-kart owners, and small-engine hobbyists who need a serviceable replacement or upgrade for a #35 chain drive. It’s especially useful if you want a removable sprocket for easier maintenance or if you run one of the common Predator or CT/BT/MB platform machines and need a drop-in, lightweight aluminum option.
