The Vertex Piston Kit Cast Race Evolution 46.94mm is engineered for high-performance motorcycle applications, offering durability and enhanced power. Constructed from gravity cast aluminum alloy with 18% silicone content, these pistons are lightweight yet incredibly strong, making them suitable for demanding riding conditions. The high-tech molybdenum disulphide coating on all piston skirts facilitates faster break-in times and prolongs piston life, ensuring reliable engine performance over time. This kit includes everything needed for a complete replacement: piston, rings, wrist pin, and circlips, providing a straightforward upgrade for your engine.
Designed for four-stroke engines, these pistons are heat treated through a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, resulting in increased resistance to wear and thermal stress. The cast replica pistons serve as OE replacements, matching the specifications and performance of original components. For those seeking increased power and torque, forged high compression and big bore pistons are available, which improve engine responsiveness across the RPM range and increase displacement, respectively. The forged pistons are made from 2618 aluminum for superior strength and durability, making them ideal for high-performance or racing engines.
Additionally, the kit includes high-quality piston rings that are sold as a set for four-stroke engines. Two-stroke replacement rings are available individually, allowing flexibility based on your engine configuration. Whether you're performing routine maintenance or a complete engine rebuild, the Vertex Piston Kit offers reliable, OEM-grade components designed to optimize engine performance and longevity, making it an excellent choice for KTM, Husqvarna, and Gas Gas motorcycle owners seeking a durable and high-performance piston upgrade.
