Features & benefits
- Proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) forging design minimizes friction and power loss with reduced skirt width and saves additional weight with a shorter wrist pin
- Forged in the USA using 2618 aluminum, yielding high tensile strength needed for high-demand performance applications
- Designed specifically for each engine and use application to provide optimized performance durability
- Includes high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings
- Race-inspired two-ring design promotes quick revving and throttle response for noticeable power
- Designed specifically for Suzuki GS1100 Engines to provide optimized performance durability
- Made 100% in the USA
- Accumulator Groove: A specialty groove between the top and second ring provides added volume for blow-by gases. This helps reduce pressure between the rings, improving top ring seal and minimizing ring flutter at high cylinder pressures.
- Contact Reduction: Reduce the amount of contact area against the cylinder wall when the piston "Rocks over". Contact reduction also serves to disrupt the flame travel into the crevice area causing a reduction in detonation.
- Pin Fit: The pin bore is precision honed to attain an exact pin clearance. Clearances typically range from .0003 to .0010 between the wrist pin and pin bore.
