Designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, this piston features a 95.97mm diameter and maintains a standard 12.5:1 compression ratio, ensuring your engine runs with factory-spec efficiency and power.\n\n### Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality\n\nVertex utilizes proprietary Low-Ex silicon-charged aluminum alloys to ensure minimal thermal expansion and maximum structural integrity. Depending on the specific engine requirements, these pistons are created through precision gravity casting or hydraulic forging processes. The blanks undergo a sophisticated heat treatment cycle, including automatic solubilization and quenching, to refine the material structure for superior durability under high-stress operating conditions.\n\n### Precision Engineering and Friction Reduction\n\nEvery piston is machined on state-of-the-art CNC equipment using diamond tooling to achieve exact surface finishes. To further optimize performance, the piston features a dual-layer coating system:\n\n- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black finish that assists in the piston break-in process and significantly reduces friction against the cylinder wall during operation.\n\n- Phosphate Coating: Drawing from Formula One engine technology, this all-over coating increases surface hardness and provides light porosity. This improves the adhesion of the Molybdenum layer, effectively doubling the durability and lifespan of the piston coating.\n\n### Key Features\n\n- Standard 12.5:1 compression ratio for reliable power delivery.\n\n- Engineered with high-tech aluminum alloys for reduced thermal expansion.\n\n- Advanced CNC machining ensures precise tolerances.\n\n- Dual-coating system for improved break-in and reduced internal friction.\n\n- Rigorous quality control testing ensures consistent reliability in demanding riding conditions.","weightGrams":null,"fitments":[],"collections":[],"links":{"page":"https://www.2brosparts.com/products/kawasaki-kxf-450-2015-grade-b-9597mm-std-compression-1251","buyOneNow":"https://www.2brosparts.com/api/agent/checkout/GB/870ea0a0c17a:1","basketWithThis":"https://www.2brosparts.com/api/agent/basket/GB/870ea0a0c17a: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.
