KTM EXC 200 1998-2016 GRADE C 63.96mm TWIN RING PISTON
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon content, depending on the application. Pistons are produced using gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes, with material structure refined through a high-tech heat treatment in an automatic HT implant with hot water solubilization. Machining is performed using the latest CNC machines and software with diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each Vertex piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new Phosphate Coating offers increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior adhesion qualities for Molybdenum Coating, doubling coating durability. This piston has a bore size of 63.96mm and is a twin ring design.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Grade C Twin Ring Piston 63.96mm
The Vertex Grade C Twin Ring Piston is engineered for high performance and durability, utilizing advanced manufacturing processes to meet the demands of rigorous engine operation. Crafted from specialized Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminum alloys, these pistons are designed to maintain structural integrity under extreme heat and pressure.
Every Vertex piston undergoes a sophisticated heat treatment process, including solubilization and hot water quenching, to refine the material structure. Precision machining is performed using state-of-the-art CNC technology and diamond tooling to ensure exact tolerances and optimal surface finishes.
Key Features
- Advanced Alloy Composition: Manufactured with silicon-charged alloys (12%, 18%, or 21%) for superior thermal stability.
- Twin Ring Design: Engineered to provide an excellent seal and consistent compression throughout the RPM range.
- Dual Coating Technology: Features an all-over Phosphate coating that provides increased surface hardness and porosity for superior adhesion. This is paired with a Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating to reduce internal friction and assist in the initial break-in process.
- Precision Engineering: CNC machined with diamond tooling to guarantee a high-quality finish and perfect fitment within the cylinder.
- Rigorous Quality Control: Each unit is subjected to comprehensive manual and automatic inspections to maintain the highest manufacturing standards.
By incorporating technologies derived from high-level motorsport, including Formula One developments, the Vertex twin ring piston offers extended coating durability and reduced wear, making it an ideal choice for maintaining engine performance and reliability.
