Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon content depending on the application. Pistons are made using gravity casting or hydraulic forging and then heat treated. Machining is done with the latest CNC machines and diamond tools, achieving specific surface finishes. Every Vertex piston undergoes rigorous quality control. Vertex pistons feature a Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new Phosphate Coating offers increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior adhesion qualities, doubling coating durability. This is a Grade A 48.44mm single ring race piston.

FULL DESCRIPTION
High-Performance Vertex Grade A Race Piston
The Vertex Grade A single-ring race piston is engineered for riders who demand precision, reliability, and peak performance. Designed specifically for high-revving race environments, this piston utilizes advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure optimal power delivery and durability under intense heat and pressure.
Advanced Material Construction
Vertex pistons are crafted from premium Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminium alloys. The manufacturing process utilizes gravity casting and hydraulic forging, followed by a sophisticated heat treatment in an automated HT implant to refine the material structure and ensure superior strength.
Key Features
- Precision Engineering: Machined using state-of-the-art CNC software and diamond-tipped tools to achieve exact tolerances and specific surface finishes.
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating reduces friction during the critical break-in period and throughout the piston's service life.
- Phosphate Coating Technology: Inspired by Formula One engine development, this coating increases surface hardness and creates a light porosity, which significantly enhances the adhesion and durability of the Molybdenum finish.
- Rigorous Quality Control: Each piston undergoes both manual and automatic inspection processes to meet the highest standards of manufacturing excellence.
Engineered for Performance
Whether you are competing on the track or maintaining your bike for competitive riding, this Grade A race piston provides the consistency and performance needed to keep your engine running at its peak. The combination of high-tech coatings and precision-forged alloys ensures that this component stands up to the rigors of racing while minimizing internal wear.
