KAWASAKI KXF 250 2015-2016 GRADE C 76.97mm HIGH COMPRESSION 14.3:1
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 high-tech heat treatment process with solubilization by quench in hot water. Machining is performed on the latest CNC machines using diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a black Molybdenum Bisulphite coating to aid break-in and reduce friction. They also incorporate a new Phosphate Coating, offering increased hardness and improved adhesion of the Molybdenum Coating for extended durability. This piston has a 76.97mm bore and a 14.3:1 compression ratio.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex High Compression Piston
Enhance the performance of your engine with this Vertex high compression piston. Engineered for durability and efficiency, this Grade C piston features a 76.97mm bore and a 14.3:1 compression ratio, providing a significant upgrade over standard components for riders looking to maximize power output.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Vertex pistons are crafted using specialized Low-Ex (low expansion) aluminium alloys, charged with high-grade silicon for optimal thermal stability. The production process utilizes either gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a sophisticated heat treatment in an automated implant to refine the material structure. This ensures a robust piston capable of handling high-stress environments.
Precision Engineering and Durability
Every piston is machined using cutting-edge CNC technology and diamond tooling to achieve exact surface finishes tailored to high-performance applications. To further improve longevity and performance, these pistons feature a dual-coating system:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: Reduces internal friction and assists in a smoother break-in process.
- Phosphate Coating: Inspired by Formula One technology, this coating provides increased hardness and superior adhesion for the Molybdenum layer, effectively doubling the durability of the surface treatment.
