"PROJECT X"--THE X FACTOR FOR COMPETITIVE STREET BIKES/POWERSPORTS APPS
After two years of development, CP has expanded its X-forging technology from its custom racing piston program and introduced Project X Pistons: Off-the-shelf fully boxed X-forged pistons for a variety of street bike and Powersports applications including Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM and others. CP Piston's fully boxed X-forgings are designed to further minimize friction and reduce weight without compromising piston strength. CP adjusts the weight balance between the high and low areas of the piston during the forging process, and incorporates bracing and ribs for ultimate strength. The inherent design of CP Piston's fully boxed X forgings allow for the use of a shorter pin, which increases strength and overall lightness of the assembly.
Project X Piston Line Features:
| | - Leading edge racing piston technology available off-the-shelf
- Fully boxed-style forging for ultimate strength, durability and power
- Reconfigured piston skirt designs maximize power and reduce piston rocking
- Coated skirts limit the amount of friction on the skirt/acts as buffer between piston and cylinder wall
- Double-pin oilers engineered in conjunction with broached oilers to deliver twice the amount of oil to the pin
- Internal windows allow additional oil to flow to pin
- Wrist pins treated with proprietary coating to eliminate pin galling and overcome brittleness associated with hardened metals
