Description
The Vertex piston kit will restore the original performance of your motorcycle. The piston kits are technically innovative and high quality, made from a special material used in the aerospace industry. The pistons are machined from a single piece of material on the most modern CNC machines. They are manufactured according to OEM quality. Vertex is the number one choice for those who demand maximum performance and reliability in the world of motorsport, for any use. Vertex two-stroke pistons are made by gravity casting from an aluminum alloy containing silicon, four-stroke engines have much higher pressures in the cylinders than two-stroke engines and the pistons that are installed in them are usually made by hot forging.
You can find motorcycle piston kits in our e-shop for KTM, Suzuki, Honda, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, Yamaha, GAS GAS popular Tenere or Royal Enfield, Triumph or CFmoto, so you can find the compatibility of your motorcycle with the given part in the application table.

How is a Vertex piston made
Did you know that the Italian city of Reggio Emilia is home to a company that is a world leader in the production of technical components for motorcycles? You have surely heard of Vertex Pistons and one of its products has probably been the heart of your motorcycle without you knowing it.It is impressive to follow the production cycle of a single piston within the company, from the 3D design created on the computer to its packaging in the warehouse. The finished piston is a true work of art, carefully crafted and fine-tuned in detail like a precious jewel.The raw pistons can be manufactured in two ways before processing, depending on their future use: gravity casting and hot forging for more demanding applications. The alloys used for the gravity casting process are aluminum/silicon, with percentages and other added elements depending on the end use.The melting takes place at a temperature of approximately 900°C and then the gravity casting process is carried out. Walking through the casting workshops, one feels like witnessing the transformation of the “T1000”, the cyborg from the Terminator 2 saga from the future, who was composed of liquid metal and took on a human form. After cooling in the mold and after the appropriate heat treatment process, the raw piston is ready for machining and finishing in CNC centers.Forged pistons, on the other hand, are made from special alloys called aviation alloys and are obtained by heat treatment, i.e. pressing a preheated blank, which, after being compressed by a pressing punch, acquires the internal shape of the finished piston. After heat treatment, the piston is subsequently machined on special CNC machines. Pistons made by gravity casting are usually recommended for two-stroke engines, while forged pistons for four-stroke engines.
