Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon, depending on the application. Pistons are produced using 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 CNC machines and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new Phosphate Coating offers increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior adhesion qualities, extending coating durability. This piston has a dome head, measures 53.95mm, and has a 0.78mm ring.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex High-Performance Racing Piston
Engineered for peak performance, this Vertex piston is a professional-grade component designed to meet the rigorous demands of racing environments. Trusted by top-tier squads like the Honda Gresini race team, Vertex pistons provide the durability and precision required for competitive engine builds.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Vertex utilizes exotic Low-Ex (low expansion) aluminium alloys, with silicon content specifically calibrated for high-performance applications. Each piston undergoes a sophisticated manufacturing process, including either gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a state-of-the-art heat treatment in an automatic implant with hot water quenching. This process refines the material structure for maximum strength and structural integrity.
Precision Machining and Coatings
Every piston is machined using advanced CNC technology and precision diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. To ensure optimal longevity and reduced friction, this piston features a dual-layer coating system:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating that assists during the initial break-in period and significantly reduces internal engine friction.
- Phosphate Coating: Borrowing technology from Formula One, this coating provides a slight increase in surface hardness and a light porosity that improves Molybdenum adhesion. This development doubles the durability of the protective coating.
