Get OEM-style fit with forged durability. The VERTEX Forged Replica Piston Kit (Pro Replica) is built in original OE form, making it an ideal replacement when you want factory-correct geometry with the added benefits of forged strength. Forged from 2618 aluminum and heat treated with a T-5 hardening/tempering cycle, it’s designed to handle demanding motocross and enduro use while maintaining consistent performance.
To reduce friction and speed up bedding-in after a rebuild, the piston skirt is coated with a high-tech molybdenum disulphide (moly) coating. The kit comes complete with the key components you need for installation, helping you refresh compression and reliability with fewer extra parts to source.
Key features:
✅ Forged OE replacement – Pro Replica forged piston in original OE form
