The Vertex VTKTC22951B-1 Top End Piston Kit, available at Moto-House MX, is a premium forged replica designed to meet or exceed OEM performance standards. This heavy-duty kit provides everything you need for a comprehensive top-end overhaul, ensuring your 400cc powerplant maintains maximum compression and reliability during aggressive trail rides or competitive racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForged from elite 2618 aluminum and subjected to a rigorous T-5 hardening and tempering cycle, this piston is built for extreme durability. To ensure a smooth transition from the garage to the track, the piston skirt is coated with high-tech Molybdenum Disulphite, which significantly reduces friction for a faster break-in time and extended piston life.
