BGM PRO Torquemaster - gear 4 (old type, 35 teeth) for Vespa PX old & Rally
As strong as original - only better.
BGM PRO Torquemaster - the perfect replacement for standard 4th gears in Vespa PX old & Rally transmissions.This gear is the reinforced version of the original fourth gear with 35 teeth - ideal for all those who want to stay true to the standard gear but do not want to compromise on durability and material quality. Manufactured from high-alloy special steel, heat-treated at ThyssenKrupp and tested for maximum continuous load - significantly more resilient than the original Piaggio version.
Note: On Vespa PX125 models, this gear replaces the original 36-tooth gear and therefore has a slightly longer ratio. This provides slightly more top speed at the same engine speed - particularly interesting in combination with more powerful setups or long primary gear ratios.
✔️ Reinforced version of the original 4th gear with
35 teeth
. Gear with 35 teeth
✔️ Slightly longer gear ratio than the standard 36-tooth gear on PX125/PX150
✔️ Ideal for touring, Everyday use and moderate performance increases
✔️ Made of 14NiCrMo13 - case-hardened special steel with motorsport DNA
✔️ Heat treatment at ThyssenKrupp - industrially reproducible quality
✔️ Surface hardening to 58-60 HRC, tough core
✔️ Suitable for PX125, PX150, PX200 (1982-1984) & Rally180/200
✔️ 1:1 interchangeable - no adjustment to the gearbox necessary
Material properties and manufacturing details
The BGM PRO Torquemaster gearwheel (35 teeth) is made of 14NiCrMo13 (1.6657), a high-alloy case-hardening steel, as used by KTM, BMW & Co. in gearbox construction.
✔️ High nickel content (~3.25 %)
Increases toughness and makes the gear insensitive to load changes.
✔️ Hardness range 58-60 HRC
The surface remains low-wear, the core elastic - ideal for a long service life under full load.
✔️ Dimensional accuracy & smooth running
Thanks to low-stress annealing and precise CNC machining.
✔️ Manufactured by ThyssenKrupp
Ensures consistent quality and controlled microstructure properties.
✔️ Significantly more resilient than original Piaggio components
Ideal for anyone who wants to upgrade in the long term - without changing the original gear ratio (for PX200 / Rally).
Compatibility
The gear fits all gearboxes with the "old type" specification - i.e. Vespa Largeframe models built between 1982 and 1984, as well as Rally models. 1:1 interchangeable with the original 35-tooth gear - on PX125 it replaces the 36-tooth gear and slightly extends the gear ratio.
✔️ Vespa PX125 / PX150 / PX200 (model year 1982-1984)
✔️ Vespa Rally180 / Rally200
✔️ Other Vespa Largeframe models with PX old gear
Important: Not suitable for Lusso models from model year 1984! If you are unsure, take a look at the gearshift cross: The old type uses the cranked version with a thickness of 5 mm.
Frequently asked questions - BGM PRO Torquemaster gear 4 (35 teeth)
Is this gear wheel true to the original?
Yes - it replaces the original 35-tooth wheel in PX200/Rally gearboxes 1:1. On PX125 it is slightly longer than the standard 36-tooth wheel.
Does it fit without further adjustment?
Yes, it is 1:1 compatible with all "PX old" type gearboxes (1982-1984).
Can the gear wheel also be used with tuning engines?
Absolutely - the material is significantly more resilient than OEM quality and designed for high torques.
Does the gear run louder than the original?
No - thanks to precise CNC machining and controlled hardening, the running is usually even quieter than with old original parts.
Is there also a shorter version?
Yes - the BGM PRO Torquemaster version with 36 teeth is available for high-torque setups with a short gear ratio.
