2003 Suzuki GSXR 1000 Custom in Ludlow, MA

Lightweight, durable forged pistons are designed using the same Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology used for MotoGP racing engines. Pentagonal shaped ventilation holes in the sides of each cylinder bore reduce pumping losses due to internal crankcase air-pressure resistance to downward piston movement. The camshaft profiles were developed using proven MotoGP racing engine technology to produce power delivery capable of racetrack performance. Carefully shaped combustion chambers and a compression ratio of 12.9:1 creates strong low-range and mid-range performance to create a broad torque curve.
