APRILIA RS GP 125 GRADE E 53.985mm 0.8mm RING NIKASIL BORE
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex silicon aluminium alloys (12%, 18%, or 21% depending on application). They are made using gravity casting or hydraulic forging, with material structure refined through automatic Heat Treatment and quench in hot water. Machining is done on the latest CNC machines with diamond tools, achieving specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A newer Phosphate Coating offers increased hardness and improved adhesion for the Molybdenum Coating, doubling its durability. This product has a 53.985mm bore and a 0.8mm ring.
