Upgrade your engine's performance with the Vertex Piston Kit Cast 46.96mm/Standard designed for Husqvarna and KTM motorcycles. This high-quality piston kit features a gravity-cast aluminum alloy construction with 18% silicone content, making it lightweight yet incredibly strong, ensuring durability and reliable operation. The piston skirts are coated with a hi-tech Molybdenum Disulphite layer, which promotes faster break-in times and extends piston life, providing improved efficiency and longevity for your engine.
Constructed with precision, the kit includes a piston, rings, wrist pin, and circlips, offering a comprehensive replacement solution. All pistons are heat-treated through a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle to maximize strength and resistance to wear. The OEM replacement rings are included, with two-stroke rings sold individually and four-stroke rings available as a set, allowing for customization based on your engine's needs.
Vertex offers both cast replica and forged options. The cast replica pistons are made from gravity-cast aluminum with 18% silicone for a lightweight, durable design, ideal for standard applications. For enhanced power and durability, forged replica pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum, providing superior strength suitable for high-performance riding. Forged high compression pistons increase horsepower and torque across the entire RPM range, while forged big bore pistons boost engine displacement, resulting in increased torque and peak horsepower, delivering a significant performance upgrade.
All pistons undergo rigorous heat treatment, ensuring they meet OEM standards for quality and reliability. Whether you’re restoring your engine or seeking performance enhancements, this Vertex piston kit is designed to provide a high-quality, reliable replacement that will extend your motorcycle’s lifespan and improve its overall performance.
