The premium 350cc MX and enduro applications complement KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas.\u003cbr\u003eAvailable in three selections, these pistons are exceptional and have astounding performance results when you are ready to replace the original piston. Athena specialists produced these pistons as the only spare part for models spanning from 2014 to 2022, thus covering two OEM codes. Designed and tested from start to finish by the Athena R\u0026amp;D team, featuring a complete Italian design with outstanding mechanical properties.\u003cbr\u003eManufactured using the forging process applied to high-quality alloys, products are tested in extreme conditions both on static and dynamic benches. Experienced riders go through rigorous test and confirm their astounding results even in official races. To enhance their resistance and anti-seizing characteristics, Athena pistons have a skirt coating that reduces friction, a pin with an exclusive hardening treatment, and latest generation rings that are made in Japan.\u003cbr\u003eThe pistons can be installed without any crankcase machining and without replacing original engine components.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e?ITALIAN ANALYSIS AND DESIGNImplementing 2D and 3D studies of the sizes and thicknesses of the original pistons, the Athena R\u0026amp;D department has optimized the geometries and profiles of the crown and the skirt. As a result, the weight is significantly reduced and perfected compared to that of the OEM, despite the products remaining extremely reliable.The safety and functionality of the three selections has been confirmed after several hours of extreme testing on the static and dynamic benches prior to production, as well as on-track testing.\u003cbr\u003eSUPERIOR ENGINEERINGAfter thorough prototyping and quality tests, the Athena technicians have produced pistons that ensure heightened performance, while retaining the same integrity and durability as the original spare part, with no need to make any additional modifications to the bike or replace any other engine components.The pistons are produced using latest-generation CNC numerical control machines that guarantee highprecision machining and perfectly smooth profiles for a perfect flame propagation.\u003cbr\u003eCAREFULLY SELECTED HIGH-PERFORMANCE MATERIALSThoroughly tested by experienced riders in official MX races, the pistons withstand extreme temperatures and tension, all due to their materials and the treatments they endure.The skirt incorporates a self-lubricating, anti-seize molybdenum disulfide coating, applied with screen printing to lessen friction.The rings are produced in Japan using anti-wear treatments and materials, while the steel alloy pin offers excellent resistance to chemical and mechanical abrasion thanks to its exclusive “Diamond-Like Carbon\" coating (DLC), which guarantees substantial rigidity and tolerance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDO YOU WANT TO DISCOVER MORE ON ATHENA OFFROAD PISTON RANGE?Visit the dedicated landing page here!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeometries and crown realized with CNC machines for a perfect design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkirt with self-lubricating and anti-seize coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel alloy pin with hardening treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan rings with anti-wear treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTested on benches and on track by professional riders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand: \u003c\/strong\u003eAthena\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number: \u003c\/strong\u003eS5F08800001A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGAS GAS EX350 F 2021-2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGAS GAS EX350 F 2021-2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGAS GAS MC350 F 2022-2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGAS GAS MC350 F 2022-2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusaberg FE350 2013-2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusaberg FE350 2024-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna FC350 2014-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna FC350 2014-2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna FE350 2014-2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna FE350 2020-2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna FE350 2020-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna FX350 2017-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHusqvarna FX350 2017-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM 350 EXC F 2012-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM 350 EXC F 2017-2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM 350 Freeride 2012-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM 350 SXF 2014-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM 350 SXF 2014-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM 350 XC-F 2012-2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM 350 XC-F 2014-2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM 350 XCF-W 2012-2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: Image is for reference only, actual product may vary slightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159936983119,"sku":"S5F08800001A-ATHENA-0426-ATH","price":186.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/7120\/7759\/files\/S5F08800001A_d74d2df3-4f77-4838-bfee-9a61e490bef0.jpg?v=1777657354","url":"https:\/\/lionparts.com\/products\/athena-forged-piston-kit-87-95mm-bore-s5f08800001a","provider":"Lionparts Powersports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
