Upgrade your KTM engine with the Vertex Forged Piston Kit, designed specifically for optimal performance and durability. Crafted from high-quality 2618 aluminum, these forged pistons provide superior strength and increased power output across the entire RPM range. The kit includes a piston, rings, wrist pin, and circlips, offering a comprehensive solution for engine rebuilds or upgrades.
All piston skirts are coated with a state-of-the-art Molybdenum Disulphite layer, which facilitates faster break-in times and extends piston life, ensuring reliable performance over time. The pistons are heat-treated through a T-5 hardening and tempering process to maximize durability and resistance to wear, making them suitable for high-performance applications. Whether you're upgrading for increased power or restoring your engine to OEM standards, these pistons are engineered to meet and exceed expectations.
Vertex offers both cast replica pistons, made from gravity-cast aluminum alloy with 18% silicone content for lightweight strength, and forged replica pistons for those demanding more durability. The forged pistons are ideal for high compression ratios, such as 11.0:1, boosting torque and peak horsepower. They also include four-stroke piston rings sold as a set, with two-stroke rings available individually. Designed as OEM replacements, these pistons and rings ensure a perfect fit and reliable operation in your KTM motorcycle.
