APRILIA RS GP 125 GRADE F 53.990mm 0.8mm RING NIKASIL BORE
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminium alloys with 12%, 18% or 21% silicon depending on the application. They are produced using gravity cast or hydraulic forging processes and refined through a hi-tech heat treatment. Machining is completed using the latest CNC machines and diamond tools for specific surface finishes. Each piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Vertex pistons feature a Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating for break-in and friction reduction, or a new Phosphate Coating for increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior adhesion, doubling coating durability. This specific piston has a Nikasil bore of 53.990mm with a 0.8mm ring.
