KTM EXC 200 1998-2016 GRADE D 63.97mm TWIN RING PISTON
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18% or 21% silicon content depending on application. The pistons are produced using gravity cast or hydraulic forging and refined with a hi-tech Heat Treatment process. Machining is completed using the latest CNC machines and diamond tools, achieving specific surface finishes for the intended application. Every Vertex piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. The pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. Vertex also offers a new Phosphate Coating which increases hardness and surface porosity, enhancing Molybdenum Coating adhesion and durability. This piston is twin ring, Grade D, and 63.97mm in diameter.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex High-Performance Twin Ring Piston - 63.97mm Grade D
Upgrade your engine performance with this precision-engineered Vertex Twin Ring Piston. Designed for riders who demand reliability and power, this piston is manufactured using advanced metallurgical processes to ensure it meets the rigorous demands of off-road and high-performance environments.
Vertex utilizes exotic Low-Ex silicon-charged aluminium alloys, chosen for their superior thermal expansion properties. Whether through gravity casting or hydraulic forging, each piston blank undergoes a sophisticated heat treatment process in an automatic HT implant to refine the material structure, resulting in exceptional strength and durability.
Every piston is machined using state-of-the-art CNC technology and diamond tooling to achieve exact specifications and optimal surface finishes. To further enhance performance and longevity, these pistons feature a dual-layer protection system:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A high-performance black coating that minimizes friction during the break-in period and throughout the internal working cycle of the engine.
- Phosphate Coating: Borrowing technology from Formula One engineering, this layer provides a slight increase in surface hardness and creates a light surface porosity. This allows for superior adhesion of the Molybdenum coating, effectively doubling its durability.
With a 63.97mm diameter, this Grade D piston has passed extensive manual and automatic quality control inspections. When you choose Vertex, you are choosing a component designed to maintain peak engine compression and consistent power delivery.
