APRILIA RS GP 125 GRADE H 54.000mm 0.8mm RING NIKASIL BORE
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys charged with 12% 18% or 21% silicon depending on the application. Vertex pistons are manufactured using gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes and then the material structure is refined using a hi-tech heat treatment. This heat treating process uses cutting edge technology for aluminium alloys. The machining process is completed using the latest CNC machines and software along with diamond tools. This high tech tooling achieves specific surface finishes depending on the final application. Every Vertex piston undergoes a rigorous manual and automatic quality control process. Vertex pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating to aid piston break in and reduce friction. Vertex has also introduced a new Phosphate Coating which has a slight hardness increase combined with a light surface porosity that exhibits superior adhesion qualities of the Molybdenum Coating, extending the coating durability. This cylinder has a 54.000mm bore and 0.8mm ring with a Nikasil bore.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex High-Performance Replacement Piston
Enhance the performance and reliability of your engine with this premium replacement piston from Vertex. Designed for precision and durability, this piston is manufactured using advanced metallurgical techniques to ensure it withstands the demanding conditions of high-revving engine environments.
Vertex utilizes exotic Low-Ex silicon-charged aluminium alloys, with silicon content ranging from 12 percent to 21 percent depending on the specific application requirements. These blanks are created through gravity casting or hydraulic forging processes, followed by a sophisticated heat treatment that involves solubilization and a controlled hot water quench to refine the material structure for maximum strength.
Precision is at the heart of the Vertex manufacturing process. Each piston is machined on state of the art CNC equipment using diamond tooling to achieve exact tolerances and specific surface finishes tailored for optimal performance within a Nikasil bore.
