2016 Vertex Street Pistons Italian piston specialist Vertex (VP Italy) introduced several new and updated product lines at the Milan show last year, including a new four-stroke street piston range for 2016. Available as replacement or high performance versions, they have been developed in MotoGP with the Gresini team and several Superbike and Supersport teams. The line-up has 15 models of replacement and high compression configurations for most popular models from Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW and Ducati 600 and 1000cc (for track use only). Forged from the highest quality aeronautic 2618 or 4032 alloys, they are coated with a special Molybdenum Bisulphate black coating to aid during piston break-in and reduce friction. New for 2016 Vertex forged pistons for high performance 4-strokes are made with a 'T-Bridge' structure inspired by F1. The company says that their "unique piston profiles and compression ratios maximise power while reducing blow-by and oil consumption". They sell in kits with segments, pins and mounting rings and feature a minimum limit weight for their category.
