HONDA RS 125 2003-2009 GRADE D 53.97mm FLAT TOP .78mm RING
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon content depending on the application. They are produced using gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a heat treatment process with solubilization and quenching in hot water. Machining is performed using CNC machines and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new Phosphate Coating, developed following Formula One engine advancements, provides increased hardness, surface porosity, and superior adhesion qualities for enhanced coating durability. This piston has a 53.97mm flat top with a 0.78mm ring.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex High Performance Flat Top Piston
Engineered for excellence and reliability, the Vertex Grade D flat top piston is designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance racing. As utilized by top-tier professional race teams, this piston provides the durability and precision required to maintain peak engine performance under intense conditions.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology
Vertex utilizes exotic Low-Ex silicon-charged aluminium alloys to ensure structural integrity and thermal stability. The manufacturing process incorporates either gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a state-of-the-art heat treatment process in an automatic HT implant. This ensures a refined material structure that delivers superior performance and longevity.
Precision Engineering and Durability
Every piston is machined using advanced CNC technology and diamond-tipped tooling to achieve the precise surface finish required for optimal engine operation. To further enhance performance and lifespan, each piston features a sophisticated coating system:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating that assists during the critical break-in period and significantly reduces friction within the cylinder.
- Phosphate Coating: Drawing from Formula One engine development, this all-over coating increases surface hardness and provides a light porosity that ensures superior adhesion of the Molybdenum layer, effectively doubling the durability of the protective finish.
