Powersports Forged Piston Advantage
Wiseco leads the performance aftermarket by producing the highest qual-
ity forged pistons for Dirt Bikes, ATV’s, Snowmobiles, Outboard Marine, and
Motorcycles right here in the USA. Wiseco is unique because we forge all of
our own pistons in house, and produce all of our own forge tooling right here
in the USA. This allows us to control all aspects of our manufacturing process
from raw bar to skirt coating finished parts.
In addition, in-house dyno testing gives Wiseco the ability to develop state-of-
the-art technology such as new shapes, coatings, and components, and lead
the industry through rigorous R&D. Linking all segments of Wiseco’s organiza-
tion through design, testing, manufacturing, and distribution allows us to fulfill
market needs with minimum lead-times.
Piston Engineering / ArmorGlide Coating
Some of our forged pistons offer our new ArmorGlide™ skirt coating, which is
the result of testing, development, and benchmarking through Wiseco’s rigorous
in-house dyno program. The outcome is the ultimate in skirt coating toughness,
lubrication, and bond technology working together to minimize friction, maximize
horsepower, and provide improved wear resistance. Not only is ArmorGlide™ a
high-tech lubricant that reduces friction, but it also allows the piston to be fitted
tighter within the bore allowing a better ring seal and reduced noise from piston rock.
Top End Piston Kits
Wiseco's complete top end Piston Kits are offered for nearly every popular
application in the powersports market. These kits contain everything you need
to complete your rebuild the right way, the first time. High quality parts specifi-
cally chosen by us to match our forged pistons are included in this kit for easy
one stop shopping.
• 4-stroke kits feature a ‘race-ready’ dome finish with smooth edges for improved
combustion flow. Horizontal slot-pin oiling reduces friction and provides scuff
resistance, along with a pressure seal groove for maximum ring seal.
• Most PK/SK/WK/VT kits from Wiseco feature a complete top end gasket kit
that gives you everything you need to complete your rebuild from premium
materials.
• 4-stroke race applications feature Wiseco’s ArmorGlide™ skirt coating to
provide reduced friction and noise to contribute to increased horsepower.
• Dedicated forgings used for superior strength to weight ratio utilizing aero-
space alloy.
• High Performance ring kit and alloy pin included with each piston kit for
extended life and sustained power.
