APRILIA RS 125 GRADE C 53.99mm NIKASIL BORE
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex (low expansion) Silicon aluminium alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon depending on the application. Pistons are made using gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes, with material structure refined through heat treatment. Machining is performed using CNC machines and diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes. Each Vertex piston undergoes rigorous quality control. Vertex pistons feature a black Molybdenum Bisulphite coating for break-in and friction reduction, and a Phosphate Coating for increased hardness, surface porosity, and enhanced Molybdenum Coating adhesion, doubling coating durability. This product is a 53.99mm Nikasil bore for Aprilia RS 125.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Performance Piston for Nikasil Bore
Upgrade your engine performance with this high-quality Vertex piston, specifically engineered for 53.99mm Nikasil bore applications. Vertex is a world-renowned manufacturer known for utilizing advanced materials and state-of-the-art production techniques to ensure maximum reliability and engine efficiency.
Advanced Manufacturing and Material Quality
Vertex pistons are crafted from specialized Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminum alloys. Depending on the specific application, these alloys contain 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon to ensure thermal stability and strength. Each piston undergoes either gravity casting or hydraulic forging, followed by a high-tech automated heat treatment process to refine the material structure for superior durability.
Precision Engineering and Coatings
Every piston is machined using high-precision CNC technology and diamond tooling to achieve exact surface finishes. To enhance longevity and performance, this piston features a dual-layer coating approach:
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A black surface treatment that reduces friction and assists significantly during the initial piston break-in period.
- Phosphate Coating: Borrowed from Formula One engine technology, this coating provides increased hardness and light surface porosity, which doubles the durability of the molybdenum layer by ensuring superior adhesion.
