KAWASAKI KXF 250 2017-2019 GRADE C 76.97mm STD COMPRESSION 13.4:1
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon, depending on the application. Pistons are made using gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by heat treatment in an automatic HT implant with hot water solubilization. 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 Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new Phosphate Coating, developed following Formula One engine advancements, offers increased hardness, surface porosity, and superior Molybdenum Coating adhesion for enhanced durability. This piston has a bore of 76.97mm, a compression ratio of 13.4:1, and is a Grade C piston.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Standard Compression Piston 76.97mm Grade C
Engineered for high performance and reliability, this Vertex piston is designed to restore engine power and efficiency. Manufactured using advanced metallurgical processes, this piston features a 76.97mm diameter and a 13.4:1 compression ratio, providing an ideal replacement for demanding riding conditions.
Vertex pistons are crafted from exotic low expansion (Low-Ex) silicon-charged aluminum alloys. Depending on the specific application, these pistons utilize either a gravity cast or hydraulic forging process. The structural integrity is further refined through a sophisticated, automated heat treatment process, ensuring the material can withstand the extreme thermal loads experienced during engine operation.
Key Features
- Precision Machining: Produced using state of the art CNC machinery and diamond tooling for exact tolerances and superior surface finishes.
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating is applied to reduce friction during the break in period and throughout the internal operation of the cylinder.
- Phosphate Coating Technology: Inspired by Formula One engineering, this added layer provides a slight increase in hardness and surface porosity, significantly improving the adhesion and durability of the molybdenum coating.
- Rigorous Quality Control: Each piston undergoes intensive manual and automatic inspections to maintain the highest standards of manufacturing quality.
- Optimized Compression: Designed with a 13.4:1 compression ratio to ensure consistent power delivery and engine response.
Whether you are performing a routine rebuild or a full engine restoration, Vertex pistons provide the durability and performance necessary to keep your engine running at its peak.
