Vertex Piston Kit Forged Replica 24097B — Gas Gas / Husqvarna / KTM 250 2016-2023

Product Description

Restore your 250cc 4-stroke engine to factory performance levels with the Vertex Forged Replica Piston Kit 24097B. This kit serves as an OE replacement, engineered to meet the high demands of motocross and off-road racing. The forged 2618 aluminum construction provides the strength required for sustained high-RPM operation.

Every Vertex piston undergoes a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle to maximize structural integrity. To reduce friction and extend component life, the piston skirt features a specialized Molybdenum Disulphite coating. This coating facilitates a smoother break-in period and provides an additional layer of protection against scuffing under extreme heat, ensuring your engine runs consistently through long motos and demanding trail rides.

A: This kit is a "Forged Replica" OE replacement, designed to match factory compression ratios. It is optimized for reliability and performance in standard racing applications.

Expert Pro-Tip: When installing, ensure the ring end-gap is checked in the cylinder before final assembly. Additionally, always use a high-quality assembly lube on the wrist pin and ring surfaces to prevent dry-start wear.
