Vertex OE Replica Cast Piston 2021 - 2023 Gas Gas MC 85

There are many factors to consider when choosing a piston for your bikes engine. One important consideration is the material from which the piston is made. The Vertex cast piston is made from a gravity-cast aluminum alloy with 18% silicone content.

This makes it a popular choice for OE replacement pistons. Another benefit of the Vertex cast piston is its heat treatment process. The piston is heat treated with a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, which helps to increase its strength and durability.

In addition to the heat treatment process, the piston skirt of the Vertex cast piston is coated with a high-tech Molybdenum Disulphite coating. This coating serves two purposes: it helps to reduce friction between the piston and the cylinder walls, allowing for a faster break-in time, and it also helps to increase the overall lifespan of the piston.
