Upgrade your engine with the Vertex Piston Kit Cast Race Evolution 44.97mm, designed for KTM, Husqvarna, and Gas Gas motorcycles. Crafted from high-quality materials, this kit features a cast aluminum alloy piston with 18% silicone content, making it lightweight yet durable, ideal for high-performance applications. The piston skirts are coated with a hi-tech Molybdenum Disulphide coating, which promotes faster break-in and extends piston life, ensuring reliable operation over time. This kit includes a piston, rings, wrist pin, and circlips, providing a comprehensive upgrade for your engine.
Constructed from gravity cast aluminum alloy, the piston is engineered to be extremely light without sacrificing strength. For even greater durability and performance, forged replica pistons are available, forged from 2618 aluminum to withstand higher stresses and provide superior strength. The forged high compression pistons improve power and torque across the entire RPM range, while the big bore forged pistons increase engine displacement, peak horsepower, and torque, delivering noticeable performance gains.
All Vertex pistons and rings are heat-treated with a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, ensuring long-lasting resilience and consistent performance. The OEM replacement design guarantees compatibility and ease of installation, making this kit an excellent choice for both restoration and performance upgrades. The included four-stroke piston rings are sold as a set, but replacement two-stroke rings are available individually, allowing customization based on your engine’s requirements.
