SUZUKI LTZ 400 2000-2012 GRADE B 89.97mm STD COMPRESSION
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18% or 21% silicon, depending on the application. Pistons are made using gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes, then heat-treated using a hi-tech automatic implant with solubilization by quench in hot water. Machining is done using the latest CNC machines and software with diamond tools, achieving specific surface finishes for the piston's final application. Every Vertex piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new Phosphate Coating has been introduced, which offers increased hardness and surface porosity for superior adhesion and durability of the Molybdenum Coating, extending its lifespan. This piston has a 89.97mm standard compression bore.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Standard Compression Piston for High-Performance Engines
Enhance the reliability and efficiency of your engine with the Vertex Standard Compression Piston. Engineered for demanding environments, this piston utilizes advanced manufacturing techniques and premium materials to ensure consistent performance and durability throughout the engine lifecycle.
Vertex manufactures these pistons using high-grade Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminium alloys. The material composition is precisely balanced to handle thermal stress while maintaining structural integrity. Each piston undergoes a sophisticated heat treatment process, including solubilization and hot water quenching, to refine the grain structure for superior strength.
Key Features
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured using state-of-the-art CNC machinery and diamond-tipped tooling to achieve exacting tolerances and surface finishes.
- Enhanced Durability: Features an advanced Phosphate coating paired with Molybdenum Bisulphite. This dual-coating system improves surface hardness and significantly increases the adhesion of the anti-friction layer, effectively doubling its lifespan.
- Friction Reduction: The specialized Molybdenum Bisulphite coating minimizes internal friction during the break-in period and throughout regular operation, improving engine efficiency.
- Rigorous Quality Control: Every unit undergoes strict manual and automated inspections to meet the highest industry standards for performance parts.
Whether you are performing a standard engine rebuild or looking to maintain factory performance, the Vertex piston offers the technical precision required for optimal engine health and longevity.
