Piston Kit (Forged High Compression)

Boost power and response with a race-proven forged piston. The VERTEX Pro HC (High Compression) Piston Kit is designed for riders who want improved power and torque across the entire rpm range while maintaining excellent strength and reliability. Built using Vertex technology, this forged piston uses premium materials and surface treatments to handle demanding 4-stroke riding conditions.

Thanks to its high-compression design (13.45:1), this kit is an ideal choice when you want a sharper, stronger engine feel after a top-end refresh or performance-oriented rebuild. The skirt is coated with a high-tech Molybdenum Disulphite (moly) coating to support faster break-in and increased piston life, while heat treatment with a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle helps ensure durability under load.

Key features:

• ✅ Forged 2618 aluminum construction for superior strength and durability
• ✅ T-5 heat-treated piston for reliable performance in harsh conditions
• ✅ Moly-coated piston skirt for faster break-in and longer service life

Benefits of use:

• 🔹 More power and torque thanks to higher compression across the rpm range
