Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with silicon content ranging from 12% to 21% depending on the application. They are produced using gravity cast or hydraulic forging, followed by a heat treatment process. Machining is performed using the latest CNC machines and diamond tools, allowing for specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a black Molybdenum Bisulphite coating to aid in break-in and reduce friction. A newer Phosphate Coating is also available, offering increased hardness and superior adhesion properties for extended durability. This piston is Grade D and measures 53.98mm.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Premium Single Ring Piston 53.98mm Grade D
Maintain peak engine performance with this high-quality Vertex single ring piston. Engineered for durability and precision, this 53.98mm Grade D piston is designed to meet the rigorous demands of two-stroke engine applications, providing optimal compression and consistent power delivery.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Vertex pistons are crafted using specialized Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminum alloys, containing between 12% and 21% silicon depending on the specific application. These blanks are produced through advanced gravity casting or hydraulic forging processes, followed by a state-of-the-art automated heat treatment. This process refines the material structure to ensure superior strength and long-term reliability under high-stress conditions.
Precision Engineering and Surface Treatment
To ensure perfect tolerances, every piston is machined using the latest CNC technology and diamond-tipped tooling. This achieves specific surface finishes tailored for high-performance engine environments. Each component undergoes a rigorous multi-stage quality control process to guarantee consistency and craftsmanship.
Enhanced Durability Coatings
This piston features industry-leading surface enhancements to improve longevity and reduce internal wear:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating applied to aid in the break-in process and significantly reduce friction during cylinder operation.
- Phosphate Coating: Incorporating developments from Formula One engine technology, this coating provides a slight increase in surface hardness and light porosity. This allows for superior adhesion of the Molybdenum coating, effectively doubling its durability and protecting the piston skirt over extended use.
Key Features
- Grade D sizing at 53.98mm for precise engine clearances.
- High-tech heat-treated aluminum alloy for maximum structural integrity.
- CNC machined to exact specifications for optimal fit and function.
- Advanced Molybdenum and Phosphate coatings to reduce friction and improve wear resistance.
- Single ring design engineered for responsive engine performance.
