Artein

XRADICAL gasket set options


Founded in 1958, Girona, Spain based gasket and seal specialist Artein is one of the largest motorsports and industrial sector gasket manufacturers in Europe.

Supplying OEM customers as well as the aftermarket, Artein is noted for its advanced technology, precision manufacturing and the research and development investments it makes into performance materials.



In motorcycle terms, Artein has been a leader in the scooter and competition markets for a long time, and in recent years has started building a high profile in the off-road market with its XRADICAL programme.

Recent new additions are the complete kit for KTM SX 125/150 applications from 2016 to 2022 that is seen here, along with a complete gasket set for the Honda CR 125R from 1990 to 1997.

For the Suzuki RM 85 (2002 and up) and all its other applications, Artein offers complete gasket sets and top end set for standard configuration, and a "Smart Kit", comprising an extended gasket kit (top end, clutch cover and gasket, and friction disc and cover gasket), along with a water pump cover gasket. Spare gaskets are also available.

The quality of Artein's products has been proven many times - on the street and in competition - and for development of the XRADICAL lines, Artein brought together engine technicians, performance engineers and sealing materials specialists to develop premium application-specific product solutions.

The primary gasket materials used in the XRADICAL range include Artein CS6900 Soft, easily recognisable in yellow colour (25% compression capacity, very high 64% recovery and temperature resistance), German made Victor Reinz AFM 34 (an aramid fibre-based gasket material for low compressibility in a wide range of operating temperatures and pressures), and Foamet - aluminium core with Nitrile soft foam in both sides - one of the best known of contemporary gasket materials.
