Vertex Forged Replica Piston Kit for 450cc 4-Stroke Engines

Elevate your motorcycle's engine performance and reliability with the Vertex 450cc 4-stroke forged piston kit. Engineered as a direct OE replacement, this kit delivers exceptional strength and durability for demanding riding conditions, ensuring your engine runs optimally.

Description

The Vertex Forged Replica Piston Kit is meticulously designed to match original equipment specifications, providing a seamless and reliable upgrade for your 450cc 4-stroke engine. Each piston is precision-forged from high-grade 2618 aluminum, a material renowned for its superior strength and resilience under extreme operating temperatures and pressures. This robust construction ensures long-lasting durability, making it an ideal motorcycle piston replacement for maintaining or enhancing your bike's power output.

To further boost longevity and reduce break-in time, the piston skirts are treated with an advanced Molybdenum Disulphite (Moly) coating. This specialized coating minimizes friction and wear, significantly extending the piston's service life. Furthermore, every piston undergoes a rigorous T-5 hardening and tempering heat treatment cycle, optimizing its metallurgical properties for maximum performance and resistance to fatigue. With a precise bore size of 96.00 mm and a piston diameter of 95.98 mm, this kit ensures an exact fit and optimal compression for your specific engine, delivering consistent and powerful performance. This complete kit includes everything needed for a comprehensive installation: the forged piston, high-quality rings (nitride coated steel), a sturdy wrist pin, and reliable circlips.
