I personally don't use them when u can get forged wiseco's for a little more. My experience and knowledge come from my polaris background. The skirts would break and that's never a good thing. Hopefully it's just limited to those and not the banshees.

there's been guys who have shattered the skirts off the namuras in banshee's also......the namuras are the pistons that came stock in the banshee straight from the factory.  That being said it is all about how the cylinders are bored/honed to keep the namuras from shattering.  They have to be bored to their correct tollerances for cast pistons.......way different than machined for forged pistons.

All piston are capable of breaking. A sloppy bore will guarantee piston failure and cast pistons are gonna give in first. I recall a bad batch of wsm piston last year. They looked fine but the ring landings weren't cut correctly at the factory. Quality control is something of the past.
