KAWASAKI KXF 450 2015 GRADE A 95.96mm STD COMPRESSION 12.5:1
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon, depending on the application. The pistons are made using gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a heat treatment process in an automatic HT implant with solubilization by quench in hot water. Machining is performed using CNC machines and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each Vertex piston undergoes a manual and automatic quality control process. Vertex pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new Phosphate Coating, similar to that used in Formula One engines, offers increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior adhesion and durability of the Molybdenum Coating. This product is a Grade A, 95.96mm standard compression piston with a 12.5:1 compression ratio.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex High-Performance Standard Compression Piston
Upgrade your engine reliability and performance with this premium Grade A Vertex piston. Engineered for precision and longevity, Vertex pistons are a preferred choice for riders who demand consistent power and durability from their machines.
Vertex utilizes exotic Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminium alloys to ensure structural integrity under extreme thermal conditions. These pistons undergo a sophisticated manufacturing process, including gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a state-of-the-art heat treatment in an automated implant to refine the material structure for maximum strength.
Advanced Engineering and Design
Every Vertex piston is precision-machined using advanced CNC technology and diamond tooling to achieve exact tolerances and specific surface finishes. The manufacturing process concludes with a rigorous quality control regimen, involving both manual and automatic inspections to guarantee an industry-leading standard.
Key Features
- High-Tech Material Composition: Constructed with 12 percent, 18 percent, or 21 percent silicon-charged aluminium alloys depending on the specific application for reduced expansion and increased resilience.
