KTM SX 125 1987-1993 GRADE B 54.20mm FLAT TOP
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex Silicon aluminium alloys (12%, 18%, or 21% depending on application) via gravity cast or hydraulic forging. Blank parts undergo heat treatment using a Hi-Tech automatic HT implant with solubilization by quench in hot water. Machining is completed using the latest CNC machines and software with diamond tools, achieving specific surface finishes. Every Vertex piston passes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Pistons are coated with Molybdenum Bisulphite for break-in and friction reduction, or a newer Phosphate Coating for increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior Molybdenum Coating adhesion, doubling coating durability. This specific piston is 54.20mm flat top.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex High-Performance Flat Top Piston
Upgrade your engine performance with the Vertex Flat Top Piston, engineered for precision and durability. Designed to meet the demanding requirements of high-performance engines, this piston provides a reliable solution for your top-end rebuild needs. Each unit is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure optimal compression and efficient combustion.
Advanced Material Technology
Vertex pistons are constructed from specialized Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminium alloys. Depending on the specific application requirements, these alloys feature silicon content of 12 percent, 18 percent, or 21 percent. This material selection minimizes expansion under thermal stress, maintaining critical tolerances for consistent power delivery.
Precision Engineering and Coatings
The manufacturing process utilizes state-of-the-art CNC machinery and diamond-tipped tooling to achieve superior surface finishes. To enhance longevity and break-in performance, each piston features dual-layer coating technology:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: Reduces friction and assists during the critical engine break-in period.
- Phosphate Coating: Applied over the entire piston to provide increased surface hardness and improved adhesion for the Molybdenum layer, effectively doubling the coating durability.
Key Features
- Grade B Specification: Precision-engineered for accurate sizing.
- 54.20mm Diameter: Specifically sized for optimal clearance and seal.
- Flat Top Design: Optimized for combustion efficiency and performance consistency.
- Heat Treated: Refined material structure achieved through advanced automated heat treatment and water quenching processes.
