Upgrade your 450cc 4-stroke with the VERTEX Pro HC forged high-compression piston kit for stronger performance across the RPM range. Built from tough 2618 forged aluminum with a moly-coated skirt for faster break-in and longer life.
Boost power and durability with a race-proven forged piston upgrade. The VERTEX Pro HC (High Compression) piston kit is developed with Vertex technology to deliver stronger performance and reliable engine durability for demanding riding. Thanks to the higher compression design, it can improve power and torque across the entire RPM range—ideal when you want a sharper, more responsive engine feel.
To support hard riding and long service life, the piston is forged from high-strength 2618 aluminum and then heat-treated with a T-5 hardening and tempering cycle. A high-tech molybdenum disulphide (moly) skirt coating helps reduce friction for faster break-in time and increased piston life. The kit is supplied with the essential components you need for installation, helping streamline your top-end refresh.
