KAWASAKI KXF 250 2015-2016 GRADE C 76.97mm STD COMPRESSION 13.8:1
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, followed by heat treatment with solubilization by quenching in hot water. Machining is done using CNC machines and diamond tools for specific surface finishes. Each Vertex piston undergoes manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and reduced friction. A new Phosphate Coating, used in Formula One engines, offers increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior adhesion and durability of the Molybdenum Coating. This piston has a 76.97mm bore and a 13.8:1 compression ratio.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex High-Performance Standard Compression Piston
Upgrade your engine reliability and performance with this premium Vertex replacement piston. Engineered for precision and longevity, Vertex pistons are widely recognized as the industry standard for high-performance off-road racing and recreational riding. This piston is manufactured to exact specifications, featuring a 76.97mm diameter and a 13.8:1 standard compression ratio to restore your engine to its factory-level power output.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Vertex utilizes exotic Low-Expansion silicon-charged aluminium alloys, with silicon content ranging from 12% to 21% depending on the specific application requirements. Each piston blank is created through either a gravity casting or hydraulic forging process, then refined using an advanced automated heat treatment process to ensure superior structural integrity and heat resistance.
Key Features
- Precision Machining: Produced using state-of-the-art CNC machinery and diamond-tipped tooling to achieve the exact surface finish required for optimal cylinder wall interaction.
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A high-performance black coating is applied to reduce friction during the critical break-in period and provide continuous lubrication during engine operation.
- Enhanced Phosphate Coating: Inspired by Formula One technology, this additional coating provides increased surface hardness and porosity, which improves the adhesion and durability of the Molybdenum finish, effectively doubling its service life.
- Rigorous Quality Control: Every individual unit undergoes strict manual and automated inspections to ensure it meets the highest standards for performance, weight, and dimensional accuracy.
Whether you are performing a top-end rebuild or preparing for a competitive season, this Vertex piston offers the perfect balance of durability, friction reduction, and consistent power delivery.
