HONDA CR 125 2000-2003 GRADE D 53..95mm SINGLE RING RACE PISTON
Vertex pistons are manufactured using Low-Ex aluminum alloys with 12%, 18%, or 21% silicon, depending on the application. They are produced using gravity casting or hydraulic forging and refined through a high-tech heat treatment process involving solubilization and quenching in hot water. Machining is performed on the latest CNC machines with diamond tools to achieve specific surface finishes for each application. Every Vertex piston undergoes rigorous manual and automatic quality control. Pistons are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphite black coating to aid break-in and reduce friction. A new Phosphate Coating is also available, offering increased hardness, light surface porosity, and superior adhesion for enhanced coating durability. This piston is Grade D with a 53.95mm diameter and a single ring design.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Vertex Grade D High-Performance Single Ring Race Piston
Engineered for maximum performance and reliability, the Vertex Grade D race piston is the ideal choice for riders looking to maintain peak engine output. This single ring piston is precision-manufactured using advanced aluminium alloy technology to ensure consistent power delivery and extended component life under demanding racing conditions.
Advanced Material and Manufacturing Technology
Vertex utilizes proprietary Low-Ex (low expansion) silicon-charged aluminium alloys, with silicon content tailored specifically for the application. These pistons are produced via gravity casting or hydraulic forging processes, followed by a sophisticated heat treatment in an automated implant to refine the material structure and maximize internal durability.
Key Features
- Precision Machining: Produced using the latest CNC technology and diamond-tipped tooling to achieve the exact surface finish required for high-performance engine environments.
- Molybdenum Bisulphite Coating: A specialized black coating is applied to the piston surface to reduce friction during operation and assist significantly during the break-in process.
- Phosphate Coating: Borrowing from Formula One engine developments, the addition of a phosphate coating provides increased surface hardness and light porosity. This improves the adhesion of the Molybdenum coating, resulting in twice the coating durability.
- Quality Assurance: Every piston undergoes a rigorous multi-stage manual and automatic quality control inspection to ensure it meets the highest standards for racing applications.
- Optimized Design: The single ring design is engineered to minimize drag and optimize gas sealing for improved throttle response and overall efficiency.
Whether you are rebuilding for the track or replacing worn components, this Vertex race piston provides the cutting-edge technology and material science necessary to keep your engine performing at its best.
