Never heard of them......
It doesn't look like they make one for the KDX....

Make sure they come with all the bearings, sleeve, rings and circlips and not JUST the piston...might be why the price is different...
Never heard of them, I'd stay with wiseco, good piece of mind...

I think that they are more europe based I would love to get a Wiesco for the bike but the best price one I can find is finding it hard to get pistons from Wiesco and the other dealers want £50.00 more for the same thing. I have been told to avoid Pro-x as they are the same as the one fitted so these look good.

They make a excellent piston. There just a bit on the pricey side here in the USA. I have one in my vintage 77 Husqvarna 390CR.

I cant vouch for the 2 cycle bike stuff but I run them in my Audi, 35k miles of daily abuse on low boost around 330 hp at all 4 wheels with multiple track days and dyno sessions @ 38psi and 480 whp and still going strong.I wouldn't hesitate to run one in my bike as they are high quality

Got a big bore kit with one in my Husky, not many miles on it yet, but runs real strong!

i have put a set of wossner's in my kawasaki H1 and they have been great with 6000 miles on them. they're cheaper than wisecos, at least here in ontario, canada. mine were purchased online from a company in the states called "fast from the past".

wossner are german made quality performance piston manufacturer & come with a special coating added to skirt area which helps to reduce friction when in the cylinder, the crown of the piston is mirror polished which improves combustion & squish which reduces detonation, improving performance, each piston comes machined ( depending on the size you require) so as to fit slightly tighter than the oe piston improving the compression in modern hi performance engines either 2 of 4 stroke motors...apparently they lighter than a wiseco piston !

I ran a Wossner in my 220 for awhile. They're great pistons.
