The Vertex Piston Kit Cast Race Evolution 44.96mm is designed for high-performance motorcycle applications, offering enhanced durability and power. Crafted from gravity cast aluminum alloy with an 18% silicone content, this piston kit is extremely lightweight yet robust, providing improved acceleration and handling. The piston skirts are coated with a high-tech Molybdenum Disulphide finish, reducing friction during break-in and extending piston life for reliable operation over time. This kit is suitable for four-stroke engines and includes all essential components such as piston, rings, wrist pin, and circlips, making installation straightforward and convenient.
The cast replica pistons are engineered to serve as OEM replacements, ensuring compatibility with KTM, Husqvarna, and Gas Gas models. They undergo heat treatment with T-5 hardening and tempering cycles, which significantly enhances their strength and resistance to thermal stress. For enthusiasts seeking increased performance, forged high compression and big bore pistons are available, offering improvements in power, torque, and engine displacement across the entire RPM range. Forged pistons are manufactured from 2618 aluminum, providing superior durability and strength, making them ideal for racing or aggressive riding styles.
All pistons are precision-machined to exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance. The kit includes everything needed for a complete upgrade, including piston rings (sold as a set for four-stroke applications or individually for two-stroke engines), wrist pin, and circlips. The piston rings are designed to provide excellent sealing and wear resistance, contributing to overall engine efficiency. Whether you're rebuilding for reliability or pushing your bike to its limits, the Vertex Piston Kit Cast Race Evolution 44.96mm offers a high-quality solution that combines advanced materials with proven engineering to meet the demands of competitive and recreational riders alike.
