Gas Gas EC 300 2002 - 2018 Grade B 71.95mm
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon depending on application. They are produced using gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by heat treatment in an automatic HT implant with hot water solubilization. Machining is performed with the latest CNC machines and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a special black Molybdenum Bisulphite coating for break-in and friction reduction, and a newer Phosphate Coating for increased hardness, surface porosity, and superior adhesion of the Molybdenum Coating, doubling its durability. This specific piston has a 71.95mm bore.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex High-Performance 71.95mm Grade B Piston
Enhance the reliability and power of your engine with this premium Vertex piston. Engineered for precision and longevity, Vertex pistons are manufactured using advanced Low-Ex (low expansion) aluminium alloys, high in silicon content to ensure exceptional durability under high-stress conditions.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Each piston is crafted using sophisticated gravity casting or hydraulic forging processes. To ensure optimal material structure, these parts undergo a cutting-edge heat treatment process, utilizing automated solubilization and hot water quenching to provide superior strength and thermal resistance.
Precision Engineering and Surface Finishing
Utilizing state-of-the-art CNC machining and diamond tooling, Vertex achieves exact tolerances and surface finishes tailored to specific engine applications. This level of manufacturing detail ensures a consistent fit and optimal operation within the cylinder.
Advanced Coating Technology
This piston features industry-leading surface treatments designed to reduce friction and improve break-in periods:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating that assists during initial engine break-in and significantly reduces internal friction.
- Phosphate Coating: Borrowed from Formula One technology, this all-over coating increases surface hardness and provides light porosity. This improves the adhesion of the Molybdenum coating, effectively doubling the durability and lifespan of the surface finish.
