APRILIA EXTREMA SPORT RS 125 GRADE D 53.96mm NIKASIL BORE
Vertex pistons are manufactured using low expansion silicon charged aluminum alloys. Gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes create blank parts, which are then refined using high-tech heat treatment. Machining is completed using the latest CNC machines and software with diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Every Vertex piston undergoes rigorous quality control. Vertex pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction. A new Phosphate Coating offers increased hardness and surface porosity for superior adhesion and durability. This piston has a Nikasil bore and a diameter of 53.96mm.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Performance Piston for Nikasil Bore
Upgrade your engine performance with this high-quality Vertex piston, specifically engineered for 53.96mm Nikasil bore applications. Vertex is a global leader in piston technology, utilizing advanced manufacturing processes to ensure maximum durability and efficient power delivery for your engine.
Advanced Material and Manufacturing
These pistons are crafted from premium Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminium alloys. Depending on the specific application, the silicon content is precisely balanced at 12%, 18%, or 21%. Each piston undergoes either a gravity cast or hydraulic forging process, followed by a sophisticated, automated heat treatment process to refine the material structure and ensure superior strength under high-stress conditions.
Precision Engineering and Coatings
Vertex utilizes state-of-the-art CNC machining and diamond tooling to achieve precise surface finishes tailored to the exact requirements of your engine. To further enhance performance and longevity, these pistons feature a specialized Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating, which facilitates a smoother break-in period and reduces internal friction.
Additionally, these pistons incorporate an all-over Phosphate coating. Inspired by Formula One engine technology, this layer provides a slight increase in surface hardness and a light porosity. This allows for superior adhesion of the Molybdenum coating, effectively doubling its durability throughout the working life of the piston.
