HONDA CR 80 1990 - 2002 GRADE A 46.94mm SINGLE RING REPLICA
Vertex pistons are manufactured using low expansion silicon aluminium alloys (Low-Ex) with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon content depending on the application. Pistons are produced using gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes, followed by heat treatment in an automatic implant with hot water quenching. Machining is performed on the latest CNC machines using diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Every Vertex piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new, all-over Phosphate Coating, incorporating a slight hardness increase and light surface porosity, enhances adhesion and durability of the Molybdenum Coating. This is a Grade A, 46.94mm single ring replica piston.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Grade A 46.94mm Single Ring Replica Piston
Enhance the performance and reliability of your engine with this high-quality Vertex replica piston. Engineered to meet exacting standards, this 46.94mm single-ring piston is designed for riders who demand precision and durability from their motorcycle components.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Vertex pistons are manufactured using exotic Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminium alloys. Depending on the specific application, these alloys are charged with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon to provide the ideal balance of strength and thermal stability. The blank parts are created using either gravity casting or hydraulic forging processes, followed by a sophisticated heat treatment in an automatic implant with solubilization by hot water quenching. This cutting-edge process ensures a refined material structure for long-lasting performance.
Precision Engineering
Every piston is machined using state-of-the-art CNC technology and diamond-tipped tooling. This high-tech approach allows for specific surface finishes tailored to the demands of the engine environment. To ensure total reliability, every unit undergoes a rigorous manual and automatic quality control inspection before leaving the factory.
Superior Coating Technology
This piston features advanced surface treatments designed to optimize engine function:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating that assists during the critical piston break-in period and reduces internal friction for smoother operation.
- Phosphate Coating: Inspired by Formula One engine developments, this all-over coating increases surface hardness and provides a light porosity that ensures superior adhesion of the Molybdenum coating. This combination effectively doubles the durability of the piston surface coatings.
