Vertex Pro HC Piston Kit for High Compression

Unleash the full potential of your 4-stroke engine with the Vertex Pro HC high compression piston kit. Engineered with Vertex technology, this forged piston is designed to deliver significant power and torque improvements across the entire RPM range for serious motorcycle enthusiasts.

Description

Experience a dramatic performance upgrade with the Vertex Pro HC forged 4-stroke piston, specifically engineered for a 12.8:1 compression ratio. This premium motorcycle engine piston is crafted from robust 2618 aluminum, a material renowned for its superior strength and exceptional durability under the extreme conditions of a high-performance engine. Each piston undergoes a meticulous T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, ensuring optimal 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 increases overall piston life by reducing friction. Designed for a precise 97.00 mm bore and suitable for 450 cc displacement engines, this performance piston kit includes everything you need for installation: the piston, rings, wrist pin, and circlips. The Vertex Pro HC kit is the ideal choice for riders seeking to maximize their engine's output and reliability.
