Vertex Piston Kits

Manufactured in Italy, Vertex, the premier brand of OEM pistons, is the OEM supplier to KTM and numerous European motorcycle and go-kart manufactures. Vertex offers enthusiasts state-of-the-art, high quality pistons for nearly any powersport use from motorcycles and ATVs to jet skis and karting. Vertex is the choice of those who truly seek the optimum in powersport performance in any application.

Vertex pistons are coated with Bisulfide to reduce breakin time. An unprecedented amount of silicone content extends piston life.

Vertex pistons are both cast and forged. Vertex casts their two stroke pistons because of the ability to incorporate higher silicon content into castings as opposed to a forging. This gives the piston a lower thermal distortion characteristic and higher wear resistance. Vertex uses castings and forgings in its four stroke pistons depending on application. Low rpm, low performance four stroke engines can use cast pistons. High performance, high rpm engines (like today’s race bikes) use forged pistons for strength.

Vertex has the ability to manufacture its pistons to suit each need.

A = 53.92 mm, B = 53.93 mm, C = 53.94 mm, D = 53.95 mm, E = 53.96 mm, F = 53.97 mm Vertex Pistons are manufactured using exotic aluminium alloys called Low-ex ( low expansion) Silicon charged with 12%, 18% or 21% depending on the application. Vertex pistons are manufactured using either a gravity cast or hydraulic forging process to make the blank parts and then the material structure is refined using a hi-tech Heat Treatment completed in an automatic HT implant with solubilisation by quench in hot water. This heat treatment process is cutting edge technology for this type of aluminium alloys. The machining process is completed using the latest CNC machines and software as well as the usage of diamond tools. By using this high tech tooling, specific surface finished can be achieved depending on the final application of the finished piston. Every Vertex piston passes through a rigorous manual and automatic quality control process to insure only the highest quality level. Vertex pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating to aid during piston break in and reducing friction during the work inside the cylinder. Recently, following the latest developments used in Formula One engines, Vertex has introduced a new, all over, Phosphate Coating which has a slight hardness increase combined with a light surface porosity that exhibits superior adhesion qualities of the Molybdenum Coating, extending the coating durability for twice as long.
