MSV Racing’s Top Choice for CR500 Pistons: Vertex Cast Pistons
After decades of building and racing Honda CR500s, we’ve tested just about every piston brand out there—cast and forged alike. When it comes to quality, reliability, and value, nothing beats the Vertex Cast Piston. That’s why it’s our go-to for CR500 engine builds, whether for the dunes, the track, or high-performance trail riding.
Why Vertex Pistons for Your CR500?
- Gravity Cast for Precision: Made from high-performance aluminum alloy with 18% silicon content, Vertex pistons offer reduced thermal expansion—allowing tighter tolerances, increased horsepower, and longer engine life.
- Durability That Delivers: The high silicon content means less wear on the piston skirt, more consistent performance, and fewer rebuilds.
- MOS2 Coated Skirts: Every piston features a molybdenum disulfide coating for quicker break-in and lower friction—protecting both the piston and cylinder wall.
- Heat-Treated Strength: All Vertex pistons go through a T-5 or T-6 heat treatment cycle, ensuring race-ready durability.
- Complete Kits: Each kit includes piston, rings, wrist pin, and circlips—everything you need to get back on the gas.
