Vertex Pistons - 'Race Evolution' for 2-stroke off-road
In addition to the multi-championship-winning GP-Racer's Choice pistons, Italian specialist Vertex offers 'Race Evolution' high-performance pistons for the 2-stroke off-road market - with the line updated for 2022 motocross and enduro models.
Developed in the championships, including the MX World Championship, and in collaboration with many of the world's leading race teams, these pistons are designed with reduced top land 0.8 mm special ring, special MoS2 coating featured by specific pockets to facilitate cylinder/piston smoothness and a dedicated racing profile.
In addition to its GP-Racer's Choice pistons, its range of 4-stroke off-road pistons includes hi-tech Replica, High Compression and Big Bore pistons with a molybdenum disulfide coating to enhance smoothness and wear resistance. "Each application has model-specific features that guarantee a perfect replacement for standard OE pistons with an excellent quality/price ratio. An increase in the compression ratio improves power and torque and an increase in displacement greatly improves performance."
The off-road 4-stroke Vertex pistons range has been updated to include the cross, enduro and Supermotard 2022 models and are also available for Beta enduro motorcycles in the 350/390/430/480 RR versions, for the whole KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas range, as well as for Honda CRF 250/450, Kawasaki KX 250/450 F, Yamaha YZ 250/450 F and Suzuki RM-Z 250/450.
Also seen here, Vertex top-end piston kits are renowned for engine maintenance, OE replacement or performance upgrade with all the parts needed to upgrade and renew engine performance and service life "at a very affordable cost".
The kits include the piston (Replica/Race/Race Evolution in the versions for 2-stroke motorcycles and Replica/High Compression/GP-Racer's Choice in the versions for 4-stroke motorcycles), rings, wrist pin, circlips, top-end gaskets and wrist pin bearing (in the versions for 2-stroke motorcycles). Vertex additionally offers a replacement cam chain for free in the 4-stroke kits and a 10% kit discount compared to the individual 2-stroke component costs. These top-end kits have been updated to include the 2022 models.
