Vertex Big Bore Piston Kit - 68mm Bore - 262cc - +1.60mm - 23630160

Unleash enhanced power and performance from your 2-stroke engine with the Vertex Cast BigBore Piston Kit. Engineered for durability and optimized for high output, this kit is a premium upgrade designed to boost your motorcycle's displacement, torque, and peak horsepower.

Description

The Vertex Cast BigBore Piston Kit is meticulously crafted to deliver a significant performance advantage for your 2-stroke motorcycle. Featuring a precise 68.00 mm bore size and increasing displacement to 262 cc, this piston is designed for big bore cylinders, ensuring a substantial increase in engine output. Each piston is manufactured from a high-quality, gravity-cast aluminum alloy with an 18% silicone content. This unique composition results in an exceptionally light yet remarkably strong piston that can withstand the rigors of high-performance riding while maintaining its structural integrity.

Durability is further enhanced through a rigorous T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, a heat treatment process that strengthens the piston for extended life and reliability. To facilitate faster break-in times and reduce friction, all piston skirts are treated with an advanced Molybdenum Disulphite coating. This high-tech coating not only protects against wear but also contributes to increased piston life, ensuring your engine performs at its best for longer. With a standard compression ratio, this Vertex big bore piston kit integrates seamlessly, providing a powerful upgrade without compromising overall engine balance.
