Engineered for durability and efficiency, this piston is designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance riding. Whether you are racing or looking to restore peak power, this component provides the structural integrity and precision engineering required for optimal engine output.\n\n### Advanced Manufacturing Technology\n\nVertex pistons are crafted from exotic low-expansion silicon-charged aluminum alloys. Using advanced gravity casting and hydraulic forging processes, the material undergoes a specialized heat treatment in an automatic implant with hot water quenching. This sophisticated process refines the material structure for superior strength and thermal stability.\n\n### Precision Engineering and Friction Reduction\n\nEvery piston is machined using high-tech CNC equipment and diamond tooling to ensure exact tolerances and surface finishes. To further enhance performance and longevity, these pistons feature a dual-coating system:\n\n \n- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating that assists during the break-in period and significantly reduces friction within the cylinder.\n \n- Phosphate Coating: Inspired by Formula One technology, this all-over coating increases surface hardness and provides superior adhesion for the Molybdenum layer, effectively doubling the durability of the piston coating.\n\n### Key Features\n\n \n- Grade B piston with a 95.97mm diameter.\n \n- High compression ratio of 13.6:1 for improved power delivery.\n \n- Constructed from high-grade, low-expansion aluminum alloy.\n \n- Rigorous manual and automatic quality control inspections for consistent reliability.\n \n- Designed to withstand high-stress environments and extreme operating temperatures.","weightGrams":null,"fitments":[],"collections":[],"links":{"page":"https://www.2brosparts.com/products/kawasaki-kxf-450-2013-2014-amp-2016-2018-grade-b-9597mm-high-compression-1361","buyOneNow":"https://www.2brosparts.com/api/agent/checkout/GB/0785105e14e2:1","basketWithThis":"https://www.2brosparts.com/api/agent/basket/GB/0785105e14e2:1"}},"market":{"country":"GB","countryName":"United Kingdom","locale":"en-gb","currency":"GBP","exchangeRateFromGbp":1,"pricesIncludeUkVat":true,"checkoutTax":null,"delivery":[{"name":"Standard","description":"Orders £15.00–£59.99 · 2–4 business days","carrier":null,"estimatedDays":"2–4 business days","price":{"amount":4.99,"formatted":"£4.99"},"free":false,"minimumOrder":{"amount":0,"formatted":"£0.00","gbp":0},"weightGrams":null},{"name":"Standard","description":"Orders £60.00 and up · 2–4 business days","carrier":null,"estimatedDays":"2–4 business days","price":{"amount":0,"formatted":"£0.00"},"free":true,"minimumOrder":{"amount":60,"formatted":"£60.00","gbp":60},"weightGrams":null}],"storeUrl":"https://www.2brosparts.com"},"navigate":{"start":"https://www.2brosparts.com/api/agent","search":"https://www.2brosparts.com/api/agent/search/GB/{words+joined+with+plus}"},"howToBuy":{"summary":"Build a basket for the shopper and give them one checkout link.
