The VERTEX Forged Replica Piston Kit is designed to deliver reliable, OE-style fit and durability while adding the benefits of a forged piston construction. Built in the original OE form, it’s an ideal choice when you want a high-quality replacement for a worn piston and want consistent performance with a faster, safer break-in.
Thanks to a heat-treated T-5 hardening and tempering cycle and a high-tech Molybdenum Disulphite skirt coating, this piston kit helps reduce friction, improves initial running-in, and supports longer piston life—especially valuable in high-load 4-stroke riding conditions.
Key features:
✅ Pro Replica – forged piston in original OE form
