There’s no cylinder bore coating like Apticote 2000

Aptec Motorsport is Poeton’s specialist division focusing on cylinder bore coating for engines used in motorbikes, drones, cars and racing karts. A replacement for traditional Nikasil coatings, Apticote 2000 is a Nickel Ceramic solution that provides superior adhesion and is inspired by Poeton’s research and development in the aerospace sector.

The Apticote 2000 Advantage

Extended cylinder life – Ultra-wear resistant with a slicker, harder coating that’s better bonded to the substrate
Higher performance – Even in the most demanding race conditions, from karts and off-roaders to GP bikes
Superior oil retention – When you need it most, right up to and over 18,000 rpm, with improved resistance to scuffing
Reduced friction – Between cylinder wall and piston ring, plus better surface lubricant retention
Improved power – Delivering extra race-winning power over original supply or steel sleeves
