Vertex VTK22716A-1 piston kit

VERTEX VTK22716A-1 Piston Kit | Engine Top End

Restore your engine´s heart and unleash its true potential with the VERTEX VTK22716A-1 Pro-Race Piston Kit. If your engine is suffering from a loss of power, reduced throttle response, or audible clicking noises, a worn piston is the most likely cause. Don´t settle for a standard replacement; upgrade to the pinnacle of engine component technology and experience a new level of performance and reliability. This kit is the definitive choice for a complete and professional top-end rebuild.

As a world-renowned leader in high-performance engine components, Vertex pours decades of Italian engineering excellence and championship-winning racing experience into every piston they produce. Trusted by countless professional race teams and leading OEM manufacturers, Vertex pistons are synonymous with power, precision, and durability. When you install a Vertex piston, you are installing the same quality and cutting-edge technology used by champions.

The VTK22716A-1 stands as a testament to this legacy. At its core is a premium forged piston, meticulously crafted for superior strength and resilience under the most extreme operating conditions. Unlike cast alternatives, the forging process aligns the grain structure of the aluminium alloy, resulting in a piston that offers exceptional resistance to the high pressures and temperatures of a high-output engine. This makes it the ideal upgrade for both competitive racing and aggressive trail riding. These pistons are engineered for those who push their machines to the limit.

Vertex´s commitment to innovation is further demonstrated in the material science behind this piston.

Clicking noises, a lack of compression? These are often signs of worn pistons.

For a cost-effective replacement of your original part, Vertex offers enthusiasts high-quality, cutting-edge pistons, the choice for those who truly seek performance.

Vertex pistons are manufactured from a high-strength aluminium alloy, with 18% silicon.

The silicon reduces thermal expansion, provides better wear resistance, making the pistons less likely to rattle and thus prolonging the life of the piston.

The complete piston kit includes:
- 1 x Piston
- 1 x Piston pin
- 1 x Set of rings
- 2 x Circlips
- 1 x Needle cage
- 1 x Top-end gasket set.
- Sold individually.

This unique alloy composition provides critical thermal stability. The high silicon content ensures minimal thermal expansion, allowing for tighter, more precise running clearances. This directly translates to reduced engine noise (piston slap), improved heat transfer, and a significant increase in the piston´s operational lifespan and overall wear resistance. Furthermore, many Vertex pistons feature a Molybdenum Disulphide (MoS2) skirt coating, which drastically reduces friction during the critical break-in period and provides an extra layer of protection against scuffing throughout the engine´s life.

Every component is precision-machined using advanced CNC technology to guarantee exact dimensions and a perfect fit, ensuring optimal compression and sealing for maximum power output. Choosing the VERTEX VTK22716A-1 Piston kit is not just a repair; it is a fundamental upgrade to your engine´s top end, delivering reliability and performance you can feel with every twist of the throttle.
