SUZUKI RM 250 1999 GRADE B 66.35mm SINGLE RING PISTON
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18% or 21% silicon content. The manufacturing process includes gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by heat treatment in an automatic HT implant with solubilization by quench in hot water. Machining is performed using the latest CNC machines and software with diamond tools, achieving specific surface finishes. Each 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, developed following Formula One engine advancements, offers increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior adhesion for extended coating durability. This is a single ring piston with a 66.35mm bore.

FULL DESCRIPTION
High Performance Vertex 66.35mm Grade B Single Ring Piston
The Vertex 66.35mm Grade B Single Ring Piston is engineered for precision and durability, making it an ideal choice for riders looking to restore or maintain optimal engine performance. Crafted using advanced metallurgy and manufacturing techniques, this piston ensures a reliable fit and long-term resilience under demanding riding conditions.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology
Vertex utilizes high-quality Low-Ex (low expansion) aluminum alloys charged with varying levels of silicon to suit specific engine requirements. Through a combination of gravity casting and hydraulic forging, the structural integrity of the alloy is refined. This is further enhanced by a sophisticated heat treatment process in an automated implant, providing the piston with superior strength and thermal stability.
Precision Engineering and Coatings
Each piston is machined using state-of-the-art CNC technology and diamond-tipped tooling to achieve the exact surface finish required for high-performance applications. To maximize longevity and reduce friction, Vertex employs a multi-stage coating process:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating that facilitates a smooth break-in period and minimizes internal friction during engine operation.
- Phosphate Coating: Borrowing from Formula One engineering, this layer increases surface hardness and provides light surface porosity. This creates superior adhesion for the Molybdenum coating, effectively doubling its durability.
Quality Assurance
Before leaving the factory, every Vertex piston undergoes a rigorous quality control process, involving both manual inspections and automated testing to ensure the highest standards of performance and reliability are met.
