I wrote a good article on pistons somewhere. It was about a cast piston (forgot which brand) against a forged wiseco. I thought the cast piston would be lighter because cast IS lighter than forged aluminum. But the way wiseco designed their piston, it was lighter AND stronger than this cast one that I had. And the wiseco piston was a bore size bigger than the cast one.

It all boils down to, Wiseco is way better than all of these other companies like Namura, Sudco, Vertex, etc. I will never get another brand of piston for my bikes. Now I may try a CP or Probe if they made atv pistons but these are top companies just like Wiseco.
