Vertex Forged Replica Piston Kit - 97mm Bore - 450cc - Size C - 24448C

Experience superior engine performance and durability with the Vertex 450cc Forged Piston Kit. Engineered as a Pro Replica OE replacement, this kit delivers exceptional strength and reliability for your 4-stroke motorcycle, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal power delivery.

Description

The Vertex Pro Replica Forged Piston Kit is meticulously crafted to provide a direct OE replacement, offering enhanced strength and longevity over standard cast pistons. Specifically designed for 4-stroke engines with a 450 cc displacement, this kit features a precise 97.00 mm bore size and a high 12.8:1 compression ratio, ensuring responsive power and efficient combustion. Each piston is forged from high-grade 2618 aluminum alloy, renowned for its superior strength and resistance to extreme temperatures and pressures, making it ideal for the demanding conditions of off-road and high-performance riding. To further boost durability and reduce wear, every piston undergoes a rigorous T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, while the skirts are treated with an advanced Molybdenum Disulphite coating. This unique coating not only facilitates a faster break-in period but also significantly extends piston life by minimizing friction. As a complete kit, it includes the forged piston, high-quality nitride-coated steel rings, a durable wrist pin, and circlips, ensuring a comprehensive solution for your engine rebuild or upgrade.
