Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys, with silicon content varying by application. Pistons are produced using gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes, followed by a high-tech heat treatment. Machining is performed using the latest CNC machines, software, and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each Vertex piston undergoes rigorous quality control. The pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. Vertex also offers a new Phosphate Coating with increased hardness and porosity for superior adhesion and durability. This piston is 80mm with a 13.4:1 compression ratio.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Big Bore Piston Kit 80mm 13.4:1
Boost the performance of your engine with the Vertex Big Bore Piston Kit. Engineered for riders seeking increased displacement and power, this 80mm piston features a 13.4:1 compression ratio, designed to deliver optimal combustion efficiency and improved torque throughout the powerband.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Vertex utilizes specialized Low-Ex (low expansion) Silicon-charged aluminum alloys to ensure structural integrity under extreme heat and pressure. Depending on the specific application, these alloys contain 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon content to minimize expansion and maintain precise clearances. Each piston blank is created through either gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a sophisticated, automated heat treatment process to refine the material structure for maximum durability.
Precision Engineering and Durability
Every piston is finished using state-of-the-art CNC machining and diamond tooling, ensuring surface finishes are optimized for the rigors of high-performance riding. To further enhance longevity and performance, Vertex incorporates a two-layer coating system:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating that aids in the break-in process and significantly reduces friction during operation.
- Phosphate Coating: Inspired by Formula One technology, this coating provides increased surface hardness and light porosity. This allows for superior adhesion of the Molybdenum coating, effectively doubling its durability.
Rigorous manual and automatic quality control inspections are performed on every piston to ensure the highest standards of reliability and performance are met before leaving the factory.
