Adventure/Touring Bike Pistons, Rings, Connecting Rods & Components

Pistons belong to those engine components that transform the explosion of fuel into mechanical energy and torque. Overall, the pistons and connecting rods are selected by engineers according to such engine characteristics as displacement, torque, expected maximum RPM, service life, and many more. There are plenty of what your bike’s creators took into account to make sure the pistons fit the motor in all aspects. However, economy is also among these factors. Commonly, it's beneficial for motorcycle manufacturers to sell the original parts featuring nothing special at the price of advanced aftermarket ones boasting improved characteristics.

Actually, most modifications to the engine rotating assembly have both pros and cons, but there is a single parameter that you can improve with no unexpected side effects – the lightness. Manufacturers of mainstream engines have many factors to take into account and prefer the parts that are reasonably good while being reasonably inexpensive. As a result, the pistons and connecting rods in your adventure or touring bike tend to be heavier than they could otherwise be. And it means you don’t have the throttle response you could otherwise have. Fix that with our aftermarket pistons, connecting rods & components.
