Product Description
CAST FORGED or Vertex Two-stroke Pistons: Because of a cast piston’s ability to contain higher silicon content than forged pistons and because two-strokes have lower cylinder pressures than four-strokes, cast pistons are ideal for two-stroke engines.
- Vertex pistons are gravity cast from aluminum alloy with 18% silicon content.
- Silicone is important because.
- It decreases thermal expansion, which changes the geometry after the piston reaches operating temperature.
- With low thermal expansion characteristics, Vertex pistons can be run at tighter tolerances compared to forged pistons.This creates better power and performance, making them less susceptible to rattling or breaking.
