Manufactured using advanced Low-Ex silicon-charged aluminum alloys, these pistons are designed to withstand the rigorous demands of high-performance internal combustion engines. This particular unit features a 95.97mm bore and a 13.0:1 compression ratio, providing an efficient increase in power output.\n\n### Advanced Manufacturing and Material Technology\n\nVertex utilizes either gravity casting or hydraulic forging processes to create the initial piston blank. This structural integrity is further enhanced through a cutting-edge, automated heat treatment process involving solubilization and hot water quenching. Precision machining is achieved through the use of state-of-the-art CNC technology and diamond tooling to ensure exact surface finishes tailored to specific engine requirements.\n\n### Engineered for Durability and Reduced Friction\n\nEach piston is finished with a specialized Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating, which assists in the break-in process and significantly reduces internal friction. To further extend service life, these pistons incorporate an advanced phosphate coating. Inspired by Formula One engine development, this phosphate layer increases surface hardness and provides a light porosity that ensures superior adhesion of the Molybdenum coating, resulting in twice the coating durability of standard options.\n\n### Key Features\n\n \n- High compression design for enhanced power delivery\n \n- Advanced Low-Ex silicon-charged aluminum alloy construction\n \n- Forged or gravity cast for maximum structural strength\n \n- Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for reduced friction\n \n- Phosphate coating for improved durability and lubricant adhesion\n \n- Precision CNC machined with diamond tooling for exact tolerances\n \n- Rigorous manual and automatic quality control testing","weightGrams":null,"fitments":[],"collections":[],"links":{"page":"https://www.2brosparts.com/products/kawasaki-kxf-450-2006-2008-grade-b-9597mm-high-compression-1301","buyOneNow":null,"basketWithThis":null}},"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.
