Wiseco SK1196 Snowmobile Forged Piston Kit - 2-Stroke 82.00mm

The Wiseco SK1196 is a 2-stroke forged piston kit with an 82.00mm bore, purpose-built for high-performance snowmobile applications. Engineered, forged, and machined entirely in the USA, this kit delivers the strength and precision demanded by snocross and cross-country racing.

Wiseco produces all forgings and forge tooling in-house at their Mentor, Ohio facility, maintaining complete control over every stage of manufacturing — from raw aluminum bar stock through skirt-coated finished components. In-house dyno testing allows continuous development of advanced piston shapes, coatings, and technologies, keeping Wiseco at the forefront of powersports performance.

Kit Includes:

• Forged aluminum piston
• Piston rings
• Wrist pin
• Circlips

Key Features:

• Forged construction — delivers superior tensile strength, condensed grain structure, and fatigue resistance compared to cast alternatives
• 82.00mm bore diameter — precision-machined to tight tolerances for optimal ring seal and longevity
• Optimized strength-to-weight ratio — dedicated forging design maximizes performance without unnecessary mass
• Skirt coating — reduces friction and improves wear resistance during break-in and extended use
• USA manufactured — forged and machined at Wiseco's 150,000+ sq. ft. facility in Mentor, Ohio

Unlike cast pistons, Wiseco forgings feature a tightly aligned grain structure that resists impact and fatigue, and will not fail catastrophically when material limits are approached — a critical advantage in the extreme conditions of high-performance snowmobile racing and hard trail riding.
