Forged Pistons
Forged pistons represent the highest level of durability and precision in engine construction. The forging process creates a dense and strong material structure, making these pistons ideal for use in high-performance, turbocharged, and motorsport engines.
Compared to cast pistons, they offer significantly greater strength, improved thermal conductivity, and extended service life under extreme conditions.
Whether in professional motorsport, advanced tuning projects, or heavily loaded production engines – forged pistons are the first choice for maximum performance and reliability.
- Maximum strength due to compact grain structure
- Optimal performance at high RPM and temperatures
- Resistant to thermal and mechanical stress
- Ideal for turbocharged, supercharged, and high-revving engines
Applications: Motorsport, tuning, custom engine builds
