We wrote about Italian specialist Vertex Pistons' GP-Racer's piston in the last edition of International Dealer News. The range of 4-stroke off-road pistons is completed by the hi-tech Replica, High Compression and Big Bore models, all with a molybdenum disulfide coating to enhance smoothness and wear resistance - each equipped with their own and specific features that respectively guarantee a perfect replacement of standard pistons with an excellent quality/price ratio, an increase in the compression ratio, which improves power and torque, and an increase in displacement, which greatly improves performances.

Vertex Pistons also offers the off-road market a range of high-performance pistons for 2-stroke motorcycles - its 'Race Evolution' series pistons.
Developed in many of the leading race series, including the world championships, in collaboration with numerous and winning motocross and enduro teams, Vertex pistons stand out from other piston product lines due to their reduced top land, an 0.8 mm special ring, special MoS2 coating, featuring specific pockets to facilitate cylinder/piston smoothness, and a dedicated racing profile.

Alongside the Race Evolution range there's the Vertex Replica line "which is an excellent alternative to the respective standard pistons - an excellent compromise between performance and durability," said Lina.
Extended to the best-selling 2023 motorcycle models, and now also available for the Sherco SE 250R '17> '23 and SE 300R '16> 23 ', their main properties are the use of gravity casting from aluminium alloy with high silicon content, the T5 or T6 heat treatment reclamation cycle, and the high-quality Japanese made components Vertex uses that are interchangeable with the original products.
