I heard of them when I rode MX. They made pistons for MX bikes that had a little more compression than stock. I was going to use one in my YZ 250 rebuild but they didn't have one for my bike at the time. I believe they are cast pistions. After my luck with "Seizeco's" in my skis, I would use Vertex pistons. Next time I am using Pro-X pistons.

I think vertex, sudco, and pro-x are all made by the same people?

PMI or Performance Motorsports INC. owns Vetex, Pro-X, Wiseco, and JE pistons. With that said, Vertex are very good cast pistons.
