Designed as a high quality replacement component, this piston features a 53.94mm diameter, providing the necessary clearance for refreshed cylinder bores. Crafted using advanced manufacturing techniques, this piston offers the durability required for demanding riding conditions.\n\n### Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality\n\nVertex utilizes proprietary Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminium alloys to ensure structural integrity and thermal stability. Depending on the specific application, these alloys contain between 12% and 21% silicon. Each piston blank is produced through gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a sophisticated heat treatment process that involves automated solubilization and hot water quenching to refine the material structure.\n\n### Precision Engineering and Coatings\n\nPrecision is maintained throughout the production cycle using state-of-the-art CNC machinery and diamond-tipped tooling. This allows for specific surface finishes optimized for engine performance. To enhance longevity and reduce friction during operation, the piston features two distinct protective layers:\n\n \n- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating applied to the piston skirt to facilitate a smooth break-in period and minimize internal friction within the cylinder.\n \n- Phosphate Coating: Inspired by Formula One engine technology, this all-over coating increases surface hardness and provides superior adhesion for the Molybdenum layer. This dual-layer approach significantly extends the durability of the piston coating.\n\n### Quality Assurance\n\nEvery Vertex piston undergoes a rigorous multi-stage quality control process, combining automated inspections with manual checks. This commitment to precision ensures that every component meets strict industry standards for performance and reliability.\n\n**Key Features:**\n\n \n- 53.94mm diameter (+0.50mm oversize)\n \n- Twin ring configuration for improved sealing\n \n- High-strength Low-Ex aluminium alloy construction\n \n- Molybdenum Bisulphite friction-reducing skirt coating\n \n- Durable Phosphate coating for enhanced wear resistance\n \n- Precision CNC machined for optimal fitment","weightGrams":null,"fitments":[],"collections":[],"links":{"page":"https://www.2brosparts.com/products/kawasaki-kx-100-1998-2013-050mm-oversize-5394mm-twin-ring-replica-piston","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.
