wossner vs. wiseco

[jonvia]

I am going to be sending some cylinders off to get re-bored and honed. they are dune port cylinders. i will be buying new pistons so i am looking to get the best piston for those cylinders. are wossner pistons as good as people tell me? they say they are a great piston and do not expand as much as a wiseco.. i wanted to try some wossners just to see how i like em. can anyone vouch for wossners?

Are they a cast piston? The only piston I trust for a 2 stroke is a Wiseco forged piston.

wossner is a forged piston.

 

camatv has used them i think. they make pistons for my stock stroke cheetah which are otherwise only available for like $400 from trinity so i will be using wossners instead.

Ive heard more good than bad

I'd use a wossner.. I typically use WSM pistons. I only use Wiseco's if thats my only option.

i was going to try a wossner in my honda but its only a single ring so i stayed with wiseco. plus i wanted to see some info on the piston and what it looked like before i dropped the cash. like how thick the skirts are, if theres any cutouts at the wristpins, whats the over all weight.

ive ran them in my blaster before... no problems

[jonvia]

i know the wossners are a bit heavier.. and they have an extraa window port in the piston? or a bigger one? they are forged and teflon coated. i emailed a guy on everythingtwostroke.com i think it was but anyways he told me they dont expand as much as a wiseco.. because the wiseco uses some sort of high silicone? idk. they are german made lol. i think i might run a set. they are a tad cheaper too

[isuckdick4blasters]

problems are the word is forged pistons are becoming scarce once again and are going to be hard to come by in a pinch. but out of the 2 i would go with wiseco but if wiseco wasnt available right away i would go with wossner if it was available.

So how are the WSM pistons just wondering since there so cheap if they hold up or not?

no one?

Bobby, there is cheap WSM Platinum pistons that are cast. The forged pistons are actually more money then the wiseco's. They are good pistons and I've had great luck with them. I think i was paying 199 a set for my cub.

Thanks Shayne, i figured they had to have been cast just because of the price just wasnt sure.....

I use the platinum pistons in"stockish" bikes with no failures yet. I got them in about 14 bikes right now and all running strong.. I probably wouldn't use them in anything like what we build.

people knock on cast pistons based only on hearsay. Just think of how many clapped out banshees are still running on their stock pistons. I think they are a great option for a stockish bike.

 

The wisecos in my bike have 2 years of hard running on them and its got piston slap already.
