VERTEX offers this piston ring set for KTM SX 65, SX 85, HUSQVARNA TC 65, TC 85 and GAS GAS MC 65, MC 85 2009-2025. Rings are thin steel bands sitting in the piston grooves. They press against the cylinder wall to hold compression and scrape oil.

Why replace the rings?

The benefits:

• Regain compression and power.
• Reduce oil consumption and smoke.
• A cheap fix when piston and cylinder are still within spec.

Why choose VERTEX?

Vertex has made its pistons in Italy since 1953 and has supplied KTM’s original pistons since 1996: molybdenum-disulphide coated skirt and Japanese rings. Its two-stroke pistons are cast from an 18 % silicon alloy.

When should you replace the piston rings?

Harder starting, loss of power, blue smoke, oil consumption or a knock when cold: these are the signs of a tired top end.

Recommended hours for a top-end rebuild (manufacturer recommendation for the KTM SX 50/65, Husqvarna TC 50/65 2017-2023):

• Check every 20 h, replace every 80 h.
• KTM SX 85, Husqvarna TC 85 2018-2023: racing: every 20 h.
