KAWASAKI KX 125 1995-2000 GRADE B 53.96mm SINGLE RING RACE PISTON
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18% or 21% silicon content depending on the application. They are produced using gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes, followed by a high-tech heat treatment with solubilization by quench in hot water. Machining is completed using CNC machines and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Every Vertex piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating to aid break-in and reduce friction. A new Phosphate Coating has also been introduced, offering increased hardness and surface porosity for superior Molybdenum Coating adhesion and durability. This piston is a Grade B, 53.96mm single ring race piston.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Premium Vertex Race Piston
The Vertex Grade B Race Piston is engineered for high performance and reliability. Manufactured using advanced Low-Ex aluminium alloys, these pistons are designed to handle the rigours of racing while maintaining structural integrity. With a precision diameter of 53.96mm and a single ring configuration, this component is crafted to optimize engine efficiency and power delivery.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Vertex utilizes either a gravity cast or hydraulic forging process to create the piston blanks, which are then refined through a high-tech heat treatment process. This ensures superior strength and consistent performance under extreme operating conditions. Every piston is machined using CNC technology and diamond tooling to achieve exact specifications and the ideal surface finish for its intended application.
Enhanced Coatings for Longevity
To reduce internal friction and ensure a smoother break-in period, this piston features a specialized Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating. Furthermore, the inclusion of an all-over Phosphate Coating provides a slight increase in surface hardness and improved oil retention. This dual-coating approach significantly extends the durability of the piston and improves overall adhesion, keeping your engine running stronger for longer.
