Gas Gas EC/MX/SM 125 2003-2010 Grade C 53.97mm
Vertex pistons are manufactured using proprietary Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18% or 21% silicon content depending on the application. They are produced using gravity cast or hydraulic forging methods, followed by a high-tech heat treatment process. Machining is performed with the latest CNC machines and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a special black Molybdenum Bisulphite coating for break-in and friction reduction, and a newer Phosphate Coating for increased hardness, surface porosity, and enhanced Molybdenum Coating durability. This piston is 53.97mm and Grade C.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Performance Piston - Grade C 53.97mm
Upgrade your engine performance with this high-quality Vertex piston. Engineered for precision and reliability, Vertex pistons are crafted using exotic Low-Ex (low expansion) aluminium alloys, specifically chosen for their performance characteristics and durability under demanding conditions.
The manufacturing process utilizes advanced gravity casting or hydraulic forging techniques. To ensure maximum material integrity, every piston undergoes a sophisticated heat treatment process in an automatic implant, featuring solubilization by hot water quenching. This results in a superior, refined material structure designed to withstand the stresses of high-performance operation.
Key Features and Engineering
- Precision Machining: Manufactured using state-of-the-art CNC technology and diamond-tipped tooling to achieve exacting tolerances and surface finishes.
- Enhanced Durability: Features an all-over Phosphate Coating, inspired by Formula One engine technology. This provides increased surface hardness and light porosity, which significantly improves the adhesion of the Molybdenum Bisulphite coating.
- Friction Reduction: The specialized Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating assists with the piston break-in process and reduces internal cylinder friction, promoting smoother operation.
- Quality Assured: Every piston undergoes a rigorous manual and automatic quality control inspection to ensure it meets the highest standards of excellence.
- Optimized Sizing: This unit is a Grade C piston with a diameter of 53.97mm.
Whether you are performing a routine rebuild or seeking to maintain peak engine efficiency, Vertex pistons offer the perfect balance of technology, durability, and performance to keep your machine running at its best.
