      I have very little personal experience with these pistons. i ran these on 2 RX builds till date. They are better than the goetze and the sams. But you obviously cant compare them to SGP/ART. But then again these were the standard fitment on the stock shaolin bores with RIK rings, I just confirmed. There were no ART pistons developed for the shaolin, even with the standard bore. They either came in sam kits or these. I would give these a 7.5/10, compared to the 10/10 i'd give ART and the 4.5/10 i'd give local pistons. These come with a ceramic coated piston crown, insides and RIK rings.

        @ nikhil
        Whats your experience with TOPPRO piston. I have seen these in your shaolin (partially seized bore ) in one of your photos. Is it better than stock piston.. And stock piston from TVS is not ART.

        @ atul
        Is toppro a direct fit without altering con rod in shaolin

          frankly i don noe how a stock piston performs
          i ve ridden stock shogun but these two are totally different bikes so u cant compare
          i ve been using top pro currently running 0.5 pistons
          its pretty good . i am happy with my ride
          how i compare it is with a decent chamber n free flow filter you can beat a karizma in a quart mile drag with an equally potent rider
          i would doubt on the top speed

            @ vasanth - they are virtually the same pistons. I just gave a set to a friend and he rebored his barrel today itself. Turns out the std piston he had was a top pro as well. will post up results when he reports it

                  Nikhil nice job, one small suggestion get the filter as close (as much as you can) to the carb..

                          @psycho
                          thank u . It cant be plonked directly coz the carb is in line with the chasis
                          so no place for direct fit n therefore rerouted towards the side
                          at that distance it is held in place by the rear mud guard so the carb wont come out of the manifold easily.

                          @nikhil
                          it is a 28 mm roundslide carburettor
                          keihin pe series . it comes as stock for a honda nsr 150

They match the deck height, piston pockets and inner piston wall too. Later on I checked with a friend of mine and turn out these come as original fitments on the shaolin bores. Im sitting on huge stocks of std pistons as well as 8 oversizes. I'll be returning stock this week. If any of our shaolin boys want to stock a set PM me for the quantity and pricing. These are top pro VR150 pistons. Am attaching pics for reference.
