Part way through the MXGP series and it is looking like another banner year for Vertex Pistons in Italy. HRC star rider Tim Gajser is slugging it out with KTM man Antonio Cairoli for the championship lead, and both are well clear of the chasing pack.
The piston of choice for many of the leading MXGP teams, including Yamaha Monster Energy, Kawasaki KRT, Honda HRC, Yamaha Wilvo, Yamaha Kemea, Kawasaki Gebben, KTM Marchetti, Yamaha SDM Racing, Yamaha SM Action and FontaRacing, Vertex says its pistons are playing a leading role in this 2019 season.
"The pinnacle Vertex Pistons rider success this season so far is with the Slovenian official HRC rider Tim Gajser, who achieved his successes on his CRF450 Honda prepared by Japanese technicians and on which Vertex GP-Racer's Choice pistons are installed - pistons with which the rider repeatedly achieved the top step of the podium of the premier motocross class".
The top of the Vertex Pistons product range, GP-Racer's Choice pistons are hot forged with high resistance VP-310 alloy and machined by Vertex with exclusive F1 inspired T-Bridge technology - "DLC coated pin, segments in chromed or nitrated steel, depending on the application, and a special shape of the head that allows the maximum compression ratio with a great performance without any loss of reliability".
The GP-Racers Choice range is available for Honda CRF 250/450, Kawasaki KX250/450F, Yamaha YZ250/450F, Suzuki RM-Z 250/450, KTM SXF250/350/450 and Husqvarna FC 250/350/450.
"The victories achieved by Gajser and the other Vertex Pistons riders in the MXGP class, in the MX2 and in the other top championships, highlight the excellent development work done by the Vertex Pistons R&D technicians, whose constant progress is then applied to our aftermarket product range".
