Athena is proud to introduce a new piston range for dirt bikes, race proven parts that offer the same performance level and reliability as the OEM, at a reasonable price.
The first-class solution to replace the original piston in your motorcycle and the best choice for any rider.
"My life has been in the pistons for over 25 years. Innovation, technology, passion and attention to details are the key ingradients in my work, which made me fall in love with the alternating motion that makes the world move" (G.Bernardini)
In-house static and dyno testing of over 30 hours and sessions on track allows Athena to monitor and examine every detail, putting the highest attention on the skirt coating, the complex dome profiles and the optimized shirt shapes.
The gravity casting process is mainly used for the production of pistons for 2-stroke engines. It allows to adopt more complex, resistant and lightweight internal structures.
Using alloys with a high silicon content, it is possible to reduce the thermal expansion rate to which the piston is subjected during operation, ensuring a reduced piston-to-wall clearance and high performance over time.
The backward extrusion process, simply called forging, is used for pistons for 2T and 4T engines.
For the first time on the market, Athena presents the TOP END PISTON KIT, the perfect combo of a forged 4-stroke piston with the top end gasket kit.
Designed in perfect harmony, these two engine components offer very high performance and ensure maximum reliability.
