Vertex Pistons - 2022 Road pistons line
Updated to include 2022 applications, the Vertex range of pistons for road-going sport motorcycles was developed in Moto3 in collaboration with the SIC58 Team and in the Superbike and Supersport GPs.
These road pistons, developed exclusively for riding on the track, are offered in Replica or High Compression versions, complete with rings, wrist pin and circlips.
Vertex says that among the advantages, "the weight is at the lowest limits of the category, and they have an increased compression ratio that significantly increases engine performance without any loss of reliability".
Already on the market for Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW and Ducati 600, 1000 and 1200 cc engines, Vertex Road pistons are also now available for the KTM Duke.
However, Vertex is not only about racing pistons, but also offers the market a made-in-Europe range of front and rear sprockets dedicated to off-road motorcycles "that have been fine-tuned with the collaboration of the factory Motocross and Enduro teams.
"All our rear sprockets are customised with the exclusive Vertex design, are CNC precision- manufactured with high quality materials, are completely anodised to increase wear resistance and improve durability and have quality certification".
Three specifications are available - Steel-Sprockets, made in special black anodise finished C45 stainless steel; Alu-Sprockets in 7075 T6 heat-treated alloy with mud grooves on one side, and Duo-Sprockets, made with a 16CrNi4 steel outer with long lasting induction teeth and a core in 7075 T6 heat- treated core. Vertex' Alu and Duo sprockets are available in a choice of model-match colourways.
There are two front sprockets available - the basic model K, and the KC version equipped with carefully designed and precision-machined lightening holes that do not compromise reliability. Both are produced in special 16CrNi4 steel, fully CNC-machined and come with quality certifications.
