GP-Racers Choice pistons
In the January/February edition of IDN, we wrote about Vertex racing wins in 2023. This has put Vertex "in the holeshot" when it comes to getting an entire collection of pistons for 2 and 4-stroke engines updated for the 2024 motorcycle models.
For 4-strokes, Vertex Replica, High Compression and Big Bore ranges are led by its hot forged, high-strength aeronautical alloy, high-performance GP-Racers Choice pistons - designs that stand out for their exclusive F1 derived shape with internal support crosspiece, racing profile and head design that allows maximum compression ratio, improved low-end torque and optimised durability.
Coated with molybdenum disulfide to guarantee smoothness and resistance to wear, the high-performance piston assembly is completed with a DLC-coated piston pin, anti-rotation retaining rings, and new PVD treated (rather than chromed) segments that increases performance and reduces environmental degradation.
