Vertex Piston Kit, 53.96 mm for GasGas, Husqvarna and KTM (24243C)

The Vertex 24243C Piston Kit is engineered for select GasGas, Husqvarna and KTM motorcycles requiring a 53.96 mm replacement piston. Designed for dependable performance in demanding applications, this cast GP-style race piston combines heat-treated aluminum alloy construction with a low-friction skirt coating to support efficient break-in and extended piston service life.
The piston is manufactured from gravity-cast aluminum alloy with an 18% silicone content, providing a balance of strength, durability and controlled thermal behavior. A T-5 hardening and tempering cycle improves material performance, while the high-tech molybdenum disulfide coating on the piston skirt helps reduce friction during initial operation and promotes a faster break-in period.
The Vertex 24243C uses a single compression ring configuration in a race-oriented design intended for applications where responsive engine performance is important. This complete piston kit includes the essential components needed for installation, including the piston, compression ring, wrist pin and circlips. Verify engine specifications and manufacturer fitment information before ordering to ensure proper compatibility with your motorcycle.
Choose Vertex replacement engine components for precision-focused design and consistent manufacturing quality. The 24243C piston kit is a practical solution for refreshing the top end of compatible GasGas, Husqvarna and KTM engines while retaining the performance characteristics expected from a GP-style piston.
