KAWASAKI KX 125 2003-2008 GRADE C 53.97mm SINGLE RING REPLICA PISTON
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18% or 21% silicon content. They are produced using gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes, followed by a heat treatment process. Machining is performed on CNC machines with diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes rigorous quality control. Vertex pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A newer Phosphate Coating is also available, offering increased hardness and surface porosity for superior adhesion and durability of the Molybdenum Coating. This piston is a replica, Grade C, with a 53.97mm bore diameter.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Premium Vertex Replica Piston for High-Performance Engines
Upgrade your engine reliability with the Vertex Grade C 53.97mm single ring replica piston. Engineered for durability and precision, this piston is manufactured using advanced low expansion (Low-Ex) silicon-charged aluminium alloys. Through a combination of gravity casting or hydraulic forging and sophisticated heat treatment processes, Vertex ensures a refined material structure that stands up to the rigors of high-performance riding.
Advanced Manufacturing and Coating Technology
Every Vertex piston undergoes rigorous CNC machining and diamond tool finishing to achieve exact tolerances and specific surface textures. To improve longevity and engine performance, this piston features dual-layer coating technology:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating applied to the piston skirt to reduce friction during operation and assist during the critical engine break-in period.
- Phosphate Coating: Drawing from Formula One engine development, this all-over base coating provides a slight increase in surface hardness and creates a light porosity that ensures superior adhesion of the Molybdenum coating.
