Vertex Pistons - more wins, more titles, more pistons
EICMA saw Italian specialist Vertex Pistons again celebrating a successful year - in sales and, above all, race win and championship terms.
At the top of the Vertex range is the company's GP-Racer's Choice piston, for 4-stroke motocross and enduro use - "undoubtedly the most appreciated by manufacturers, factory teams and riders alike," said Lina Saccani Vezzani, "thanks to the high performance and reliability of our materials and precision manufacturing, and to the high level of our well known quality control procedures."

As ever, this is reinforced by the numbers of world titles that the GP-Racer's Choice have won over the years with the most famous riders of all specialties. In 2022, season victories have included the Motocross World Championship by Tim Gajser in MXGP class, riding the Honda HRC, Maxime Renaux in the MXGP of the Motocross of Nations with the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing, and Nancy Van de Ven in the WMX, riding the Yamaha YZ250F of the Ceres 71 team.
"We also saw Jeremy Seewer and Jago Geerts respectively take the Vice Championship in MXGP and MX2 with the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing and Ivano Van Erp taking the Junior 125 cc Championship with the Yamaha of the MJC team.
"The GP-Racer's Choice pistons also won 1st and 2nd place in the constructor's category of the MXGP Cross World Championship - respectively with Yamaha Racing and Honda HRC. The same pistons also dominated in Supermoto, with Marc Schmidt becoming S1GP World Champion, with the L30 TM Factory, and taking the Enduro World Championship with the world title in the E2 classes with Wil Ruprecht (TM Boano Racing) and E3 with Brad Freeman (Betamotor Factory Team).
"In the Enduro World Championship, despite being two-strokes, we are happy to acknowledge the overall victories in EJ and EJ1 by Zachary Pichon (Sherco CH Racing) and Hard Enduro Junior with Matthew Green (Rigo Racing) with KTM 300".
The success of the GP-Racer's Choice, available for all the most popular motocross and enduro bikes (including the 2023 models), is not by accident, but by design. The advanced technical and manufacturing features include hot forging with high-resistance VP-310 alloy, equipped with the exclusively machined T-Bridge inspired by F1, DLC coated pin, rings in chromed or nitrated steel (subject to application) and the exclusive shape of the head that guarantees excellent performance without any loss of reliability.
