Vertex Forged High Compression Piston Kit

Unleash the full potential of your motorcycle engine with the Vertex Forged High Compression Piston Kit. Engineered for riders seeking a significant boost in performance, this kit delivers superior power and torque across the entire RPM range, making it an essential upgrade for demanding applications.

Description

The Vertex Forged High Compression Piston Kit is meticulously developed using Vertex's advanced technology to provide unparalleled engine performance and reliability. Designed specifically for 4-stroke engines with a 450 cc displacement, this Pro HC piston kit features an aggressive 13.0:1 compression ratio, directly translating to improved throttle response and increased horsepower. Each piston is precision-forged from high-strength 2618 aluminum, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to the extreme stresses of high-performance riding. Furthermore, every piston undergoes a rigorous T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, enhancing its structural integrity and longevity. The piston skirts are treated with a high-tech Molybdenum Disulphite coating, which not only facilitates a faster break-in period but also significantly extends the piston's operational life. With a precise bore size of 96.00 mm and a piston diameter of 95.96 mm, this standard size A kit offers a perfect fit, providing the foundation for a robust and powerful engine rebuild.

Features & Highlights

• High Compression Performance: Engineered with a 13.0:1 compression ratio to dramatically improve power and torque throughout the engine's RPM range, offering a noticeable performance advantage.
• Superior Strength & Durability: Forged from premium 2618 aluminum alloy, these pistons are built to withstand intense operating conditions, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
• Advanced Heat Treatment: Each piston undergoes a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, optimizing its structural integrity and resistance to wear for extended service life.
• Optimized Break-in & Longevity: Features a high-tech Molybdenum Disulphite skirt coating that reduces friction, promotes faster break-in, and significantly increases overall piston life.
• Complete Kit for Convenience: Includes everything needed for a comprehensive piston replacement, comprising the piston, high-quality rings (nitride coated, steel), wrist pin, and circlips.
